The yield strength of grade D wheel & tyre steel at high strain rates (IM-FM-076)

Load measuring wheels (Drg. No. OAPD-E-0026) have recently been fitted to APT-E. These spoked wheels are machined from solid wheel blanks made of B.R. Grade D wheel and tyre steel. During service trials the outputs of strain gauges attached to the spokes are summed before reading and by comparing this...
