STUDY OF INFLUENCE OF PRESSURE AND LOAD ON WHEEL RIM BY RADIAL FATIGUE TEST

This paper highlights the use of the study of influence of pressure and load on wheel by experimental method using Radial Fatigue Test (RFT) and finite element technique for analyzing stress and displacement distributions in wheels of automotive vehicles when subject to the conjoint influence of inflation pressure and radial load. The most commonly used considerations in the design of the rotating body are elucidated. A potentially viable technique for finite element modeling of wheel, subjected to loading, is highlighted.
