Abstract This paper focuses on reviewing publications related to wheel performance tests and simulation of these tests using finite element analysis to evaluate the service life. Publications from the last five decades are studied. A brief introduction on the evolution of wheel performance tests and their importance is discussed. Developments related to experiments and finite element analysis performed by considering material and manufacturing aspects are summarized. Performance tests and simulations performed using different methodologies and adapted optimization procedures are presented to provide readers with a quick overview of past and recent trends in the wheel industry. Different statistical approaches to validate the wheel's reliability to withstand the service loads are also discussed. Ausführliche Beschreibung
