Abstract :In this study, A356T6 wheel bending fatigue test limits determined using the finite element methods and compared to experimental test results. In experimental test, zinc-glycerin was applied front surfaces of wheels to obtain fatigue detects. Short and long cycle bending fatigue tests insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(200.000 and 1.800.000 respectively); were performed. Simulation model was created in Ansys by defining A356 S-N curve. Simulation performed has been with test parameters. According to simulation results, the crack starts 225.000 cycle in short-test and 2.000.000 cycle in long -test. According to the results, it has been revealed that the experimental and analysis data are parallel to each other.
