As a core component of the automotive electrical system, the reliability of the terminal
crimping points in automotive wire harnesses directly relates to vehicle performance and driving
safety. Conducting research on the fatigue strength of terminal crimping points holds significant
engineering value for ensuring the stable and reliable operation of automotive wire harnesses during
long-term service. This paper adopts a method combining vibration tests, fatigue strength tests, and
working condition simulations. Targeting common typical scenarios in the process of vehicle driving,
such as acceleration, deceleration, turning, and bumping, it constructs a terminal simulation model
that conforms to actual operating conditions. With the help of ANSYS software, it simulates and
analyzes the vehicle's movement process, focusing on studying the displacement changes, stress
distribution, and fatigue strength characteristics of the terminal crimping points. The research reveals that under normal vehicle driving conditions, the stress level at the terminal crimping points is low,
and the rate of fatigue damage accumulation is slow; however, under bumpy working conditions, the
stress at the crimping points rises sharply, leading to a significant acceleration in the rate of fatigue
damage accumulation. The research results can provide theoretical basis and technical support for the
design optimization, processing technology improvement, and manufacturing quality control of
automotive wire harnesses.
