IoT in Day-to-Day Life

Abstract

One of the analyses is fatigue analysis which helps determine the durability of the product for its intended life. The fatigue analysis requires an input data from vehicle-road interaction obtained as vertical acceleration. The input data is then used in finite element analysis software or in a test rig instrumentation to perform a fatigue analysis. The focus of this study is about collecting the input data using a data acquisition device. OEM of the automobiles use proprietary data acquisition device for testing their vehicles for durability. However, the automotive body building companies or vehicle body builders which are 1-Tier companies below OEM have a limited budget for such an analysis and therefore they principally lag in advance analysis approach such as a fatigue analysis for the design of vehicle body. Instead, to sustain durability of vehicle, the design is made heavier. This research study is an effort to provide an affordable setup for data acquisition by making use of IoT and web technologies which are cost effective.
