Does anybody know if a rim would react differently to a sudden load
versus a gradual load? What I mean is if you were to apply a gradual load on a wheel would that rim be able to handle a higher load before permanantly deforming than if you were to apply the same load very quickly? Steve |

Time of loading has no effect on metals that see no difference between acoustic frequencies and long slow loading. The only difference is that sharp impact often has higher forces than is apparent to human observation. That observation is colored by the time dependence of human tissue that receives damage from fluid displacement. Typically slamming ones fist on a hard surface can withstand far greater force than squeezing the fist in a vise. What sort of loading did you have in mind? Don't overlook that a rim is cushioned by a pneumatic tire that absorbs peak forces and passes them on greatly reduced. That's what pneumatic and mechanical springs are supposed to do. Jobst Brandt |

Time of loading has no effect on metals untrue. many materials react differently depending on loading rate. for example, this is why you have nail guns - they succeed at a high rate on driving nails into concrete whereas trying to do the same job at a lower rate always fails. the deep drawing process used on stainless kitchenware is usually done at high rates also because at low rates, the material does not exhibit sufficient ductility. so, the question now is, at what /rate/ will the o.p. experience a difference? that see no difference between acoustic frequencies and long slow loading.

What sort of loading did you have in mind? Don't overlook that a rim is cushioned by a pneumatic tire that absorbs peak forces and passes them on greatly reduced. action = reaction jobst. it's impossible, in newtonian physics at any rate, for any load exerted on a tire to not be transmitted to its rim, and thus the wheel, fork, rider, etc. That's what pneumatic and mechanical springs are supposed to do. so factor time into the equation then, don't mis-state the fundamentals!!! |

What I mean is if you were to apply a gradual load on a wheel would that rim be able to handle a higher load before permanantly deforming than if you were to apply the same load very quickly? With suddenly applied loads, there's an inertia effect that generally makes things worse. The classic example is gently placing a load on a spring, vs. suddenly releasing the same load onto the same spring. Even if the load is (barely) touching the spring just before it's released, the spring momentarily deflects twice as far as with the gently placed load, and the peak force on the spring is twice as great. If the load were applied by a mechanism that didn't involve mass and inertia, I don't believe that effect would be present. But bike wheel loads do involve mass and inertia. - Frank Krygowski |

With suddenly applied loads, there's an inertia effect that generally makes things worse. Let's not leave it at such a vague description. The question is load, regardless of its origin, inertial or dead weight. The rate of stress application has no effect on metals, at least up to acoustic frequencies. The classic example is gently placing a load on a spring, vs. suddenly releasing the same load onto the same spring. Even if the load is (barely) touching the spring just before it's released, the spring momentarily deflects twice as far as with the gently placed load, and the peak force on the spring is twice as great. Those are two different loads. The question was about load application and possibly duration causing plastic deformation. If the load were applied by a mechanism that didn't involve mass and inertia, I don't believe that effect would be present. But bike wheel loads do involve mass and inertia. Bicycle wheels do not involve mass AND inertia. Loads are mainly rider and bicycle mass and their inertia. The mass of the wheel and tire is insignificant in that respect. An example of that would be to toss a wheel, with inflated tire, into the air and watch it bounce undamaged on pavement. To damage a wheel in that manner would take a hefty toss, especially with a fat (2+ tire) inch. Jobst Brandt |

Whack a nail into wood, or push it in with an arbor press, and it's about the same (although the whacked nail might hold better due to local heating of the wood resins). Don't overlook that a rim is cushioned by a pneumatic tire that absorbs peak forces and passes them on greatly reduced. action = reaction jobst. *it's impossible, in newtonian physics at any rate, for any load exerted on a tire to not be transmitted to its rim, and thus the wheel, fork, rider, etc. What part of "peak forces" don't you get? Try running your bike without a tire (I have) and see how long it takes for your butt to throw in the towel. http://www.morrispost.com/rimridep.htm Chalo |

Those are two different loads. *The question was about load application and possibly duration causing plastic deformation. If Steve could tell us more about exactly what he means, we could determine whether the sudden application of an object onto a spring is properly analogous. I believe it's likely, but he's given no details. If the load were applied by a mechanism that didn't involve mass and inertia, I don't believe that effect would be present. *But bike wheel loads do involve mass and inertia.

Bicycle wheels support mass. That mass has inertia. It makes a difference. Example: A 200 pound bike+rider sitting still on level ground causes certain stresses in the various wheel components. That same bike +rider dropping one foot down onto level ground causes much more stress. If Steve was envisioning anything similar, the fact that wheel masses are low has no bearing. So, Steve, what do you have in mind? - Frank Krygowski |
