Fatigue Analysis of a Wheel Rim
Application ID: 2038
A fatigue analysis is performed on a wheel rim. The Findley fatigue criterion is examined. The submodeling technique is utilized performed a detailed study on the critical part of a spike. At first a study of the full model is made. The critical part is identified and a submodel is reanalyzed. The road load, which rotates around the wheel, is mapped from the analysis of the full model to the analysis of the submodel.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
