Analysis of a curved web wheel under thermal and mechanical loading conditions using the NEWPAC finite element program (TM-FM-32)

This report describes the use of the B. R. finite element program NEWPAC in the analysis of a 920 mm diameter curved web wheel under thermal and mechanical loading. The wheel considered is based on an S.N.C.F. design which is being considered by an O.R.E. B95/98 Working Group as a...
