Abstract
A finite element model for the control arm of an electric vehicle is established in Hypermesh software and a mode analysis is conducted by Optistruct solver. Modal testing is designed to prove correctness of the FE model. Strength analysis has been calculated by the method of inertia release under different working conditions in Optistruct solver. The load time history of control arm is extracted by using the theory of multi-body dynamics. Completing control arm fatigue life evaluation after fatigue simulation, which could provide guidance for fatigue experiment and optimization.
