“…Automotive wheels experience severe cyclic loading in service and are designed against fatigue damage to ensure safety and reliability. 17,18 The service load on wheels is generally below the endurance limit of the base steel, at which infinite fatigue life is expected. The service condition predominantly represents high-cycle fatigue (HCF) test condition.…”

Fatigue performance of ferrite–martensite (FM) and ferrite–bainite (FB) dual‐phase (DP) steels used in automotive wheels has been compared in terms of (i) high‐cycle fatigue performance and failure mechanisms and (b) low‐cycle fatigue performance (Δεt/2 = 0.002 to 0.01) and associated deformation mechanisms. FBDP steel exhibits moderately better high‐cycle fatigue performance, owing to delay in microcrack initiation. In FBDP steel, microcracks initiate predominantly along ferrite grain boundaries, while that at FB interface is significantly delayed in comparison with FMDP steel, where few microcracks appear at FM interface even below the endurance limit. During low‐cycle fatigue, however, FMDP steel performs considerably better than FBDP steel till Δεt/2 ≤ 0.005 attributed to initial cyclic hardening, followed by cyclically stable behaviour exhibited by FMDP steel. In sharp contrast, at all Δεt/2 > 0.002, FBDP steel undergoes continuous cyclic softening. The latter may cause undesirable deformation of wheels in service.

Determination of the Fatigue Behavior of a Wheel Rim Using Finite Element Analysis

2017

Automobile wheel rims are critical elements that work under fatigue loading. For this reason, it is very important to determine fatigue damage of the wheel rims. Today, finite element analysis is used to make accurate predictions. In this study, it is aimed to determine Chaboche damage model parameters for an aluminium alloy wheel rim. Msc Marc software is used for finite element analysis. First, Chaboche damage model parameters are obtained using simple Holloman equation for finite element analysis. Model parameters are validated by single element tests. Then, fatigue behaviour of an automobile wheel rim is analysed with verified Chaboche parameters. At last, critical areas under fatigue loading are identified on the wheel rim.

“…Therefore, the failure phenomenon of the steel wheel is paid a particular attention, and some premature failure cases of the steel wheel have been reported [1][2][3][4]. Kocabicak and Firat [1] estimate the fatigue life and the failure locations of a truck steel wheel by the simulation of the wheel cornering fatigue test.…”
