Abstract
A large facility has been developed in the Fiat Structure Laboratory for performing indoor the fatigue tests usually run on the road.
The hydraulic equipment potentiality is such that the severe stresses encountered on a very bad African road can be reproduced on a fully laden truck.
The equipment is divided in two indipendent sections allowing to carry out, simultaneously, also vibration tests on complete vehicles.
