Thermal load analysis of DB4 wheel shape using the 'NEWPAC' finite element analysis program (TN-FM-17)

Last updated on 07 April 2014 12:48

The NEWPAC finite element analysis program has been used to examine a 920mm diameter DB4 wheel under the influence of thermal, loading conditions. A previous analysis of the O.R.E. B98 Type 1A wheel showed reasonable correlation between experimentally measured and computed deflections. This analysis also showed the presence of yielded...
