Numerical Simulation Analysis of Fatigue Strength of a High-power Locomotive Wheel
High-power locomotive wheels are an important component of railway locomotives and their design reliability is related to the safety of railway transport.Therefore,numerical simulations and analyses of the fatigue strength of the wheel design are required,as well as calculations to check the theoretical strength of the wheel.In this paper,a high power locomotive wheel with an external diameter of 1 250 mm is used as the object of numerical simulation and ANSYS software is used to carry out a finite element analysis and calculate the fatigue strength in accordance with the requirements of UIC 510-5 under different conditions,in order to assess the reliability of this wheel design.
