The Challenge
The challenge was to design jounce bumpers that could withstand long-term fatigue under varied load conditions. Rassini needed a way to predict potential failure modes early in the design process, reduce physical testing cycles, and ensure their products met the highest standards for performance and reliability.
The Solution
Rassini implemented Endurica’s fatigue analysis tools to model and simulate the behavior of their jounce bumpers under multiple stress scenarios. Using these insights, they optimized material selection and product design, resulting in more durable components. The ability to predict fatigue life with accuracy allowed them to shorten development cycles, reduce testing costs, and improve their ability to meet tight manufacturing deadlines.
Results:
- Reduced Physical Testing Time: Predictive fatigue analysis replaced multiple rounds of physical testing, accelerating the development process.
- Enhanced Product Durability: Optimized the design of jounce bumpers to perform reliably under heavy loads and varied road conditions.
- Lower Development Costs: Early identification of failure points minimized expensive design revisions, leading to cost savings.
- Improved Market Responsiveness: Faster product iterations allowed Rassini to provide the best technical inforamtion and a shorter overall project development time, critical for success in the automotive market.
