Fatigue Failure Analysis of Rim

thikf9m1kxA new article published in the « International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology« , Aug-2016.

A Finite Element Method methodology is proposed for fatigue life and failure prediction of automotive steel wheel by the simulations of dynamic radial fatigue test (RFT). A short review of theoretical models, numerical simulation models were described in conjunction with bilinear elasto-plastic finite element stress analysis under wheel rotating loading.
