🛞 Wheelwright Iron Tire: Thermal Expansion, Shrink Fit and Contact Pressure (2D)

Side view of a cartwheel with an iron tire that is heated, dropped on and cooled. Set the wheel diameter, tire thickness and width, the interference, the fitting clearance, the cooling coefficient and the forge heat, and watch the tire glow and shrink. The temperature needed, the hoop stress and the contact pressure are computed, with four in-page numerical checks. A materials companion to the 3D wheelwright asset.
