This paper proposes a digital twin of automotive steel wheel biaxial test bench for dynamic behaviour and assessment condition purposes. The methodology allows to consider the imposed kinematics occurring in experimental after calibration process called "Overturning Moment procedure" is applied, manage pneumatic tyre-rim interactions using finite element method decoupled models tyre wheel. proposed scheme depicts main loading contributions introduces linearisation improve computational efficiency. standard requirements, Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications, working principle are discussed. Hence, comprehensive view physical introduced hypotheses development presented. reliability approach validated against an industrial case study with numerical-experimental comparisons optimal camber angle stress analysis.
