The aim of this document is to describe the fatigue tests carried out to define the permissible stresses for mechanical dimensioning of wheel centres. First of all, the tool used to calculate these permissible stresses is described. The validity range is then defined for these permissible stresses the aim of which is to achieve a better wheel centre.
