5.6.3 Validation tests


GENERAL INFORMATION
The tests explained in this document are those recommended by PSA to verify the technical specification
requirements. The supplier, as an expert, can suggest evolutions or additional tests which have to be submitted to
PSA for approval before their integration in the validation plan.

The efforts indicated in the test sheet correspond to the most critical vehicle (MTAC_Av Maximum, Maximal
pneumatic fit). PSA can provide, if the supplier requests it, other effort values to adjust the validation plan to the
EPS declination.
Before and after each test sheet, all EPS have to checked by DTC reading : EPS shall be functional without any
modification of the electric and electronic characteristic.
During each test, the supplier shall store the electrical data (Voltage at the end of the harness, and Intensity
consumption of the ESP) related to time.

All requirements have to be met with a single configuration file.


The supplier has to include in his own test procedure the tightness qualification and quantification. Such
qualification could be done by adding a water tracer component (for ex. fluorescein).

TEST CONDITIONS (UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)


Unless otherwise indicated in the test sheets:
 1 for each speed = 10km/h
Vehicle speed
 5 for each speed > à 10 km/h
Efforts  10 daN

The mechanism has to be attached by its fasteners on a rigid support.


Tightening torque of the mechanism fasteners 100 Nm +/- 10%
Tightening torque of the knuckle ball joints 35Nm +/- 10%
To be specified by the supplier (ergonomics target =60Nm +/-
Tightening torque of the tie rod nuts
15%)
*In case of a difference between the above values and the drawing, it is the value indicated on the drawing which is
used.

Midpoint: this is the middle of the rack travel. To determine it, the operator has to measure the total travel (+/- 1
mm) from one end to another then apply the ½ travel (+/- 0.5 mm) from one rack end stop.

N°01: ASSISTANCE LAW MEASUREMENT
OBJECTIVE
Check that the product provides a variable assistance according to the input data.
TEST PARTS
Steering mechanism (including harness)
Power supply
Force sensor
Vehicle signal generator (vehicle speed, engine condition, IGN, etc….)
ASSEMBLY
The mechanism is tightened on a rigid fixture by its fastening at the nominal torque.
The rack is blocked by one tie rod.
LOADS:
For 3 vehicle speeds defined in the parameter tuning file (tuning):
 Min (0 Km/h as a reference) ; medium (80 Km/h as a reference) ; max (250 km/h as a reference)
Starting from the middle position, the column torque (Cc) is swept at a speed of 1.5  0,5 Nm/s.
 From 0 to –10 Nm (counter-clockwise).
 Then from -10 to 10 Nm (clockwise).
 Then from 10 to 0 Nm (counter clockwise).
Note: if necessary, the values of the column torque will be increased to ensure that the entire torque sensor reading
range is used.

Note:
If there is a direct contact between the pinion and the dashpanel joint, a second test has to be performed applying a radial force of 40  0,5 N to
the input shaft at a bearing location.

TARGET
 With the tuning file, the supplier shall plot the theoretical curves (or targets) Fs = f(Cc) and detail the taken
hypothesis in the report (reduction gear ratio, reduction gear efficiency, rack gear ratio, rack efficiency, etc.) as well
as the tuning file used.
o Fs is the rack force in daN
o Cc is the column torque in Nm
 The tolerances are overlaid on the theoretical curves:
o  Cc  1 Nm admissible   0.35 Nm
o  1 Nm Cc 6.5 Nm admissible   0.53 Nm
o  Cc > 6.5 Nm admissible   0.7 Nm
o A maximum right/left dissymmetry of +/-0.3 Nm is allowed.
 For a given output force, the dissymmetry value is determined by : (left column torque –
right column torque)/2
 The measured curves (Fs related to CC) are overlaid.
 The maximum hysteresis shall be represented on the measured curves
 For each vehicle speed, the measured curves must be identical to the target curves (within the
tolerances) Hysteresis values must only be provided for information
 If there is a direct contact between the dashpanel joint and the input shaft, assist laws will not be
disturbed by more than 0.1 Nm when applying the radial force.

N°22: RESISTANCE TO VIBRATIONS
OBJECTIVE
Check and ensure the EPS resistance to vehicle vibration constraints.

TEST PARTS
Steering system (including harness)
Power supply
Vehicle signal generator (vehicle speed, engine condition, IGN, etc….)

ASSEMBLY
The mechanism has to be fixed by its fasteners on a support which is submitted to the accelerations described
below. The EPS fastener has to be representative of the fastener on vehicle.
During the test, the EPS shall be supplied with assistance activated Mdf3.2 (refer to HW specification). The supplier
shall propose a way to move the rack during the test.
The system shall be fixed in its vehicle position.
STRESS
METHODOLOGY
The test shall be performed based on the two following phases:
 A natural frequency search (§5.6.4.15.4.2),
 A DSP excitation (§5.6.4.15.4.3).
The DSP excitation enables to check the EPS ageing when it is submitted to a durability test.

SEARCH AND STUDY OF RESONANCE FREQUENCIES (OR CRITICAL FREQUENCIES)


The search shall be performed in the following way:
The sensor weight has to be at least 20 times lower than the EPS weight. The search and study of natural
frequencies have to be performed at min temperature (TminEF) and at max temperature (TmaxHF) by making a
sweep (forward-backward) in the frequency range [0-200 Hz]. A natural frequency is expressed by an overvoltage
at an indicated frequency. The natural frequency search means to know the sufficiently significant overvoltage. A
natural frequency is taken into account when, at an indicated frequency, a magnitude higher than 3dB is observed
as below:

Valeur Value

higher values than the specified values, and this up to operating or destructive limits.
The objective is to age/wear the equipment more rapidly and to be aware of certain failure modes.
TEST PARTS
EPS (including harness)
Electrical power supply system
Vehicle signal generator (vehicle speed, engine state, IGN, etc….)
Rack force generator
ASSEMBLY
The EPS is fixed on a rigid fixture by its fastenings.
The EPS is positioned in respect with the vehicle coordinate (reference position).
STRESS
The test is divided in 2 phases:
- Exposure to low temperatures
The EPS is submitted to a temperature of TminEF, decreasing by stages of 10°C/15 minute
- Exposure to high temperatures
The EPS is submitted to a temperature of TmaxEF, increasing by increments of 10°C/15 minute
-

A load is applied at the end of each temperature increment to check the EPS operation.
The test is applied until EPS failure.

6.1.2 MAXIMAL efforts (curbpush away)

Efforts for curb push away maneuver Ref BMPV A

Maximal traction force at the tie rod [kN] 1,68 1,68
Maximal compression force at the tie rod [kN] 1,44 1,51

The criteria that have to be applied for MAXIMAL effort tests are the following ones:
o no tie rod plastic deformation
o tightening torque loss lower than 20% during the assembly

The curb push away validation has to be initially done from a calculation file. In case of criteria excess, the
endurance test of bloc diagram type should validate the components.
The tests validate the tie rod (on housing side) and ball joint (on knuckle side) assemblies.

6.1.3 Wheel Impact Stress


These efforts come from calculations (performed with ATLAS SW), the criteria have been specified by taking into
account the results of the Wheel Impact tests with Instrumented Tie rod on a PMP Axle Type:

This notion of fuse part involves:
o For a minimal effort FA equal to a specified effort F1 (related to the VC1)
 the tie rod has to deform itself after the F1 effort application: its target residual length variation
(l1) is specified from the criteria of axle toe variations on the Vehicle Tests.
 the tie rod deformation, associated to a plasticity level and a location of this plastic deformation,
should not affect the tie rod life span
 the tightening torque loss at assembly level has to stay lower than 30 %.
 no torque loss on the toe adjustment nut

o For an effort FB equal to an effort F2 with a tolerance of +/-15% (linked to the VC2) :
 the tie rod has to deform from a target length variation, architecture data (l2) – this length
variation has to be sufficiently visible to involve a replacement of the assembled tie rod.
 the assemblies still have to exist (no steering tie rod breakage)
 tightening torque loss lower than 50 %.
 no torque loss on the toe adjustment nut

Thereby, it is necessary to ensure that:


F1 -10% < FA < F1 + 10% < F2 - 30% < FB < F2

At calculation, these life situations can be tackled with elastic and plastic approaches.

Note: The effort FA is more than 25% higher than the Curb push away Effort  Allows to have a reliable design of
the fuse part.

It is necessary to consider the 2 Steering Tie rod operating directions (traction & compression), particularly for the
Validation Tests.

To ensure a survivability of the result, it is necessary to test a minimal number of parts. For a reliable determination
of the tie rod resistance, the number of parts which have to be tested:
o 3 parts in Prototype Phase
o 9 parts in VRS Phase (by doing a parts selection in order to test 3 batches of 3 different parts according
to one or many decisive product or process parameters for the Tie Rod impact resistance, such as the
material spread / the rod diameter / … )

The necessary deliverables during the development are the followings:


o Mechanical characteristics of used materials:
 elastic-plastic laws for each component (for softwares like ABAQUS and RADIOSS)
 material characteristics RP0.2 / Rm / A%
o digital models of steering tie rods compliant with model specifications for the Crash and ACV (compliant
with the technical specifications: ILSI_AITR04_0830 )
o damage criteria used for the endurance calculations

Note: PSA can provide the data of the same type for the Knuckle.

 Validations by Calculations

It is possible to design parts for Wheel Impact by means of calculations. In that case Elastic-Plastic calculation laws
have to be used.

A model resetting with a simple test enable to check its representativeness.

Limit Conditions:

Fastening of Ball Joint type at point N.


Fastening of Sliding Ball Joint type at point M leaving free the MN axis.

Apply a displacement along the M-N axis up to Buckling by plastic deformation of the part. The calculation can be
done depending on the Traction and Compression direction.

Result:

Effort/Displacement graph at the Steering Tie rod level.

6.3 APPENDIX 3: ANALYSIS PROCEDURES
Reference Application
CPBM_CMPM06_0087 New part analysis
New parts analysis is necessary and mandatory:
- Allows to specify weak points on function
- Allows to guarantee compliance with drawings
- Allows to specify the manufacturing quality (cleanliness, defect due to the manufacturing
process)
- During an analysis of a defective part during customer using and/or during running, the new
part analysis becomes the reference.
- It is necessary and mandatory to perform an analysis of a new part before any validation test.
Then the analysis has to be done on a part from the same manufacturing batch as those which
should be validated. The results should be used as indicators.
CPBM_CMPM06_0088 Analysis after corrosion test
The corrosion phenomena bring kinetic mechanisms, the part after an accelerated corrosion
test could still be functional, despite the presence of important corrosive cracks or material
ageing. The accelerated corrosion tests are too fast to enable mechanisms to stabilize and so
to create a functional risk.
Analyses allow to make plan for risk suppression and to evaluate the functional risk related to
incipient cracks observed after tests.
CPBM_CMPM06_0089 Analysis after vibration tests
CPBM_CMPM06_2167 Plastic material analysis
CPBM_CMPM06_2169 Analysis of cracking detection/measurement on plastic boxes
This procedure is used after corrosion tests:
- running tests of steering wheel angle sensor type
- environmental tests of the B217130
- natural corrosion tests
- BS or Swaat test type
- duplication tests of the seasonal crack phenomenon
CPBM_CMPM06_2168 Metallic material analysis
This procedure describes the logic sequence of an analysis. No modification should be allowed.
However, others analysis methods can be used if they are explained in analysis reports.
The main purpose of this document is to describe the analysis methods and agreements
validated and used by PSA.
