In order to study the fatigue performance of wheel and enhance its lightweight design level, this article proposes the structure, design and optimization method of magnesium-aluminum alloy assembled wheel. Taking a [Formula: see text] type wheel as the research object, the optimal topology of wheel spoke is solved by constructing a topology optimization model for wheel bending and radial fatigue test conditions. A finite element model for bending and radial fatigue testing of assembled wheels was established, which simulates and analyzes the fatigue performance and its influencing factors of the wheel under two working conditions. Combined with contribution analysis method, the modified NSGA-II and entropy weight grey relation analysis (EGRA), the multi-objective optimization of assembled wheel was performed. The result demonstrated that the weight reduction of the assembled wheel after optimized design is 4.49%, while the bending fatigue life and radial fatigue safety factor are decreased by 9.95% and 25%, respectively. In order to better balance the performance of assembled wheel and achieve lightweight design, this article combines the joint topology optimization of assembled wheels with multi-objective optimization method for multiple working conditions and screens the optimal compromise solution by EGRA, which provides an approach for wheel lightweight design and multi-objective optimization.

“…Ahmad et al [5] optimized the size of steel wheel rim based on the FEA and numerical method, and improved the mass and volume of the obtained wheel after two optimizations. Chen L et al [6] performed stress analysis of the wheel based on FEA and compared the stress results and fatigue life results of the optimized position under different thickness. Finally, the weight of the rim is reduced by about 14% while ensuring the design requirements of the wheel.…”

The steel wheel consists of wheel disc and rim. The wheel disc is manufactured by using power spinning process. The spinning process does not guarantee that the design scheme can be realized accurately. In this paper, the simulation method of the disc spinning process is investigated, and introduced to the lightweight design of steel wheel. Firstly, the power spinning process is simulated, and the validity of the simulation method is verified by test. Then two optimization schemes of the disc are proposed. Finally, the forming quality of the products from the optimization schemes is analyzed by spinning process simulation. The results show that the product from the optimal scheme may not be optimal since the effect of the forming quality in the spinning process. To obtain the optimal performance of product, it is very necessary to evaluate the design scheme by introducing the disc spinning process in the design stage of wheel disc.

The fatigue assessments for boom girders of a concrete pump truck, which is typically a welded box girder structure, were investigated in this study. Finite element analysis were conducted using shell and beam elements to obtain the stress histories of the boom girders. Field tests were performed to verify the finite element model. Then, the loading spectrum was developed using the rain-flow counting method. The fatigue assessments for the boom girders were evaluated using the nominal stress method and Miners cumulative damage rule based on the International Institute of Welding recommendation. It is found that some critical locations of the boom girder were at risk for fatigue failure. To overcome this problem, it is suggested to add diaphragms to boom girders.
