Reinforced wheel rim geometry: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical failure and excessive weight in rotating assemblies increase fuel consumption and safety risks. Engineering the specific cross-sectional profile and flange reinforcement of the rim ensures load-bearing integrity while minimizing unsprung mass.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Reinforced wheel rim geometry?

Structural rim deformation

(8)evidences

Mechanical stress and torque loads cause geometric instability in wheel assemblies. Preventing structural failure under load ensures reliable power transmission and vehicle safety.

Aerodynamic drag and debris ingress

(5)evidences

Airflow disruption around rotating wheels creates significant resistance and energy loss. Reducing these aerodynamic inefficiencies improves vehicle range and fuel economy.
