The wheel bearing in vehicles has been improved to unit module by joining a bearing to a hub in order to achieve weight reduction and easy assembly. Currently, the contact force between a raceway and balls of a bearing is applied as the external force in order to analyse the structure of the unit type bearings. In this paper, simplified boundary conditions are discussed for structure analysis of wheel bearing unit. From the procedure, the contact conditions of balls and race in wheel bearing unit are considered as equivalent non-linear spring elements. The end node of a spring element is constrained in displacement. And the external force of boundary conditions is applied at the contact point between tire and road. For the evaluation of this analysis, its results for the force of spring elements are compared with contact forces of calculated results. and also maximum equivalent stresses of analysis are compared with results of test at the flange of inner ring. The analysis results with proposed boundary conditions are more accurate than results from analysis which is generally used.

본 연구는 KHP(Korean Helicopter Program) main & nose wheel 국산화 개발을 위한 구조해석으로서 상용프로그램인 ANSYS를 사용하여 wheel의 구조적 안정성을 평가하였다. Wheel과 tire의 interface를 고려한 연구로서, Tire의 공기압과 정하중, 반경하중 그리고 복합 하중을 main & nose wheel에 적용하여 응력해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과는 소성변형이 발생하는 항복강도를 고려하여, maximum stress와 항복강도를 비교분석 후 구조적 안정성을 더 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
