Abstract
The principal loads applied to first order and early finite element analysis are gross simplifications of actual complex road loading events. The actual process begins with sampling of the customer load environment on public roads. These company programs involve instrumenting a statistically valid sample of vehicles and measuring their use in customers' hands across applicable geographic regions. The simplified load estimates are recommended to be applied only in the preliminary design stage, when the absence of test or simulation data warrants it. They should always be qualified and updated as more information becomes available. Additionally, each company should have its own load factors, based on experience of successful designs.
