Dynamic Simulation on Impact Test of Vehicle Wheel
Abstract:
This paper establishes a numerical procedure to predict the aluminum wheel performance during the impact test. The dynamic finite element solver, Ansys-Lsdyna970, is used. In order to save the computation time, the striker is assigned with an initial velocity, which is equal to the velocity reached during the free-fall period upon release. Mass scaling method is also utilized to further reduce computational time. Equivalent plastic strain is used as the damage indicator to judge pass or fail for the dynamic impact test. The true stress-strain curve is obtained from a uni-axial tensile test of A356-T6 samples machined from a prototype wheel. Simulation results show that plastic deformation tends to be localized around spoke-to-hub junction area. Studies on a recent prototype wheel revealed good correlation between experimental results and numerical prediction.
