“…22 Only a few papers consider the real component to be tested in order to take into account also the effect of complex geometry inducing local stress concentrators. [23][24][25][26] However, until now, in the published papers about the fatigue behaviour of castings, fatigue tests have been never carried out directly on the whole wheel tested in the final painting condition and therefore considering the effect due to the effective residual stress distribution induced by the production process on the component.…”

Rotating bending fatigue tests were executed on A356‐T6 wheels. The tests were performed both on components containing only the casting defects and on wheels in which artificial holes were machined. Results show the detrimental effect of sub‐superficial porosities on fatigue endurance. A predictive model was proposed. It resulted in a useful tool for the designer because knowing the applied stress, it is possible to estimate the number of cycles for crack nucleation considering the size of the defect, whereas knowing the endurance target requested it is possible to find the maximum defect size acceptable considering the applied stress.

In this study, static and fatigue analysis of three different electrical bikes' rim which are coupled with electrical hub motor was investigated. Loading conditions were applied on rim in order to simulate driving forces that exert on road conditions. Analysis results of three rims were compared with each other. According to results, sharp edges increase von-Mises stresses and decrease fatigue safety factor due to stress concentration on the corners. Also, it was observed that contact area of spokes to flange affects the total deformation and von-Mises stress distribution. Three dimensional models of the rims were designed with the aid of CATIA V5 and their computational analyses were carried out with ANSYS WORKBENCH software program.
