FEM Simulation of Wheel Strength Test

Lei Zhang

Abstract

Aiming at a wheel,whole finite element model is constructed in ANSYS.Through dynamic cornering fatigue test simulation,stress drawing is obtained and lifetime of the wheel is predicted.After that rigidity test for a nut seat of a wheel is simulated,variation of displacement and local stress distribution are obtained.Results of the test are verified with those from experiment in the last section.Strength analysis of this wheel can be applied as a reference for wheels used in other vehicles.
