摘要：	The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is seeking to develop specifications to ensure that wheels used in transit and commuter applications perform safely under the service conditions to which they are exposed. To this end, a design standard has been conceived to ensure that new wheel designs proposed for such applications are not susceptible to fatigue cracking in the wheel plate and hub. Historically, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) Standard S-660 has been applied in the industry for the purposes of qualifying wheel designs for use in passenger applications. The standard stipulates particular loads to apply in a simple finite element analysis of the new wheel design. The basis for approval is an empirical comparison (by an independent third party) of the results with those in a database of previous analysis results of other qualified wheels. / Supplementary Notes: Presented at the IMECE International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition, Chicago, IL., November 5-10, 2006.
