Abstract: Although there is no public standard for 90° impact test of steel wheel, some wheel manufactures have introduced the impact test to ensure the safety performance of steel wheel. It is often referred to the standard methods used for light alloy wheels. However, whether light alloy wheel 90° impact test methods are applicable to steel wheels have not been studied. In this paper, the vehicle model and road model were established in ADAMS/Car to simulate the vehicle passing through bumps and potholes. The maximum impact force on the wheel was obtained by changing vehicle speed and obstacle size. The simulation result of the wheel under the maximum impact force was compared with those of the 90° bench impact tests. The results show that test method I of 90° impact standard for light alloy wheels is applicable to steel wheels and test method II is too stringent for steel wheels.
