Popis: Radial fatigue life is an important index of automotive wheel. Traditional analysis method neglected the force on flange and confused stable inflation load with dynamic radial load. In this study, a 3D finite element (FE) analysis was executed simulating the inflation and radial press process. Different contact and modeling techniques were adopted to improve the convergence and accuracy. Stable and dynamic pressure on flange and bead seat were distinguished and approximated with different functions. Finally, experiments and comparison were made to ensure the reliability of the method.
