Comparison of Steel and Aluminium Behaviour as Materials for Rings and Wheels

A two-layer ring of various thickness from and aluminium and a wheel in the shape of steel ring with steel or aluminium spokes were analysed by the FEM. In the first problem the plasticity of material was considered, and in the second, also- the possibility of spokes buckling. Conclusions about the efficiency of use of steel and aluminium in loaded elements of thinwalled structures are made.
