A Review on Fatigue Life Prediction of a Heavy Vehicle Steel Wheel by using ?nite Element Analysis

This review reports the state of the art in modeling chemical and physical processes of Wheels have vital importance for the safety of the vehicle and a special care is needed in order to ensure their durability. The development of the vehicle industry has strongly influenced the design, the material selection and the manufacturing processes of the wheels. The wheels loading manner is a complex one; further improvement and efficient wheel design will be possible only if their loading will be better understood. In this paper, the review about various papers which is based on analyzed with the finite element method, using the different loading test. The static stresses are studied in order to find the zones with higher stress concentration and to suggest the better design solution.
