wheel safety factor?
Not sure if I should post this here or in the "trailer" section. Here goes. Anyone know of the approximate safety factors used in the design of steel and aluminum wheels for trucks. For example, a Alcoa 16" wheel may be listed as 3050# max allowable load. When that 16" tire and wheel combination hits a pothole at 65 mph the actual load that the wheel "gets" will be much heavier than the "rated" load. Dead load and impact load are applied to the wheel. I am familiar with safety factors of 2, 3 and 6 on other designed items, but have no personal experience on wheel design. Any one have any knowledge on wheel design?
