Door hinges allow your car or truck’s doors to open and close, and they also hold them to the vehicle. They are located where the door attaches to the frame. There are two hinges for each doors an upper one and a lower one. The problem of a sagging car door is more than just a mere annoyance; if door sag is ignored over time, it can cause other issues that will ultimately cost even more to repair. To minimize the failure of door hinge, the stress induced in it must be studied. A hinge is subjected to continuous loading and unloading. This may causes fatigue failure of the door hinge. The review of previous publications enable to conclude that components with complex geometry as door hinge require a more extensive investigation in view of the fact that a very few articles have been published so far regarding stress analysis of this door hinge.
