Abstract:
The present work presents the methodology used to define eminent modes of failure and their impacts on the design of the suspension of an off-road vehicle (BAJA/SAE). For this, the FMEA tool was used to increase reliability during the design phase. Which it is based on the philosophy of continuous improvement, since it is a cyclical process that needs to be reviewed periodically. Thus, the most critical failure modes that make up the subsystem were evaluated. With this methodology, it was possible to monitor the life of the of the suspension components until their failure in order to identify, resolve and predict possible anomalies. In addition, its indexes allow a focus orientation, theoretical training, selection of materials and project guidelines, for example. Thus, this strategy allowed the adoption of preventive posture, optimizing time and reducing costs.
