How can I draw a free body diagram of a rotating wheel?

[QUOTE="JRMichler, post: 5881259"] After further thought, the cracks tell you the location(s) of the maximum fatigue stresses. And the total number of load cycles until cracks appear tells you the magnitude of the stresses. If this wheel is on a motor vehicle, then the maximum stresses may come from cornering forces. That would require a completely different free body diagram. The complexity of the wheel make hand calculations difficult, and of questionable accuracy. This problem is best solved using FEA. It does not need a high end FEA package, the SolidWorks Premium package will easily handle this job. [/QUOTE]
