Abstract :
The basic situation was introduced firstly on the wheel double axis fatigue (abbreviated to WDAF) testing. Then the basic process to carry out the finite element analysis and the fatigue life prediction on the WDAF testing were introduced briefly. Subsequently, a typical wheel was taken as an example to implement the finite element fatigue life prediction for the WDAF testing of the aluminum alloy wheel. Finally, an initial criteria was proposed for the WDAF life prediction based on the analytical results from FEA for several wheels.
