Abstract
The current state of the art in truck wheel technology is reviewed with particular emphasis on rims. The salient design features of both single and multipiece rim types are described and the safety of both types in the context of field performance is explored. Some aspects of contemporary design methodology are discussed and possible future directions for the technology are forecast.
