To effectively evaluate the fatigue life of in-wheel-motor-driven electric vehicle steering knuckles, virtual iterative analysis of suspension multi-body dynamics modeling and road spectrum signals is conducted based on the measured road load spectrum, form which the input file of steering knuckles load spectrum is obtained. Fatigue life analysis on the steering knuckle is conducted by combining the inertia release results, material S-N curve and Miner linear cumulative damage criterion, and Fatigue tests are conducted on the steering knuckles for verification. Findings from both simulations and experiments indicate that the primary fatigue risk areas are at the interfaces between the steering tie rod and the lower shock absorber connecting rod. The steering knuckle design satisfies the requirement for a fatigue-free lifespan over a diriveing distance of 16×104 km.
