The objectives of this study were to: 1) propose a simplified beam analysis method in estimating bending moments of structural members in a sofa frame; 2) derive cyclic stepped load schedules for fatigue performance evaluation of each structural member; 3) determine structural member dimensions to satisfy frame performance testing requirements; and 4) derive design loads for estimating cross sectional dimensions of structural members in a sofa frame.
