Hi,
I am developing anew heavy commercial wheel family that has a new rim specifications and lower load index. By the new LI, lower, the new wheel family can not use same bolt circle and bolt pattern due to security.
The proposal is to keep bolt circle and change the number of bolts, but my question is: there is a way to calculate structural strength of wheel bolt? What is the considerations? I do not want use CAE methods now because it is under study and I need to investigate a lot of proposals.
Thank you,
