A method has been developed which allows prediction of the field performance of structural components based on prototype vehicle test procedures and results. Component designs can then be optimized by selecting prototype durability test objectives which more a-curately reflect actual field usage. This procedure, which is based on fatigue damage calculations from component strain histories, has been successfully applied to nonsafety related body, frame and suspension structural components of light trucks and vans.
