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.

Abstract- McCain Foods, an MNC, manufacturer and supplier of FMCG products located in Gujarat, India was experiencing frequent breakdown in operations. During inspection, the plastic conveyor belt and gear mechanism were suspected. Stress analysis of a standard plastic modular link of different height is done using finite element methods. The mechanical behavior of a standard Slat chain which is loaded by the maximum allowed load are considered. The Finite Element analysis has been proved appropriate tool as compared to theoretical computations
