Numerical simulation on 90° impact test of aluminium alloy wheel with the effect of tyre
Car wheels are crucial to automobile safety, requiring a rigorous test before production. A 90° impact test simulates the frontal impact and its influences on the wheel structure, replicating dynamic driving conditions. A novel modelling approach is illustrated for the 90° impact test simulation and investigates the feasibility of excluding the tyre. Firstly, the test performs and validates five impact simulations, with the maximum deformation error being 7.04%. Subsequently, with additional tests, the effectiveness of the modelling approach is evaluated. Lastly, the effect of tyres has been analysed from an energy perspective. The results indicate that the tyre significantly influences the simulation results and should be included in the finite element (FE) model, which differs from the 13° impact test.
