Each strut seems to experience a different life-cycle load. How will this be reflected in the durability of the struts?
Individual struts could experience different load histories; however, when used in applications where the lock up event is positionally indeterminate or random, like automotive torque converters or transmissions, the long term load histories for each strut are essentially identical. So, if we look at hundreds of thousands and millions of load events, the strut histories become the same.
