Abstract The mechanical properties of wheels vary among the wheel population. The variation comes from two sources, i.e., within-model variation and between-model variation. It is qualitatively known that different wheel models have different shapes, which affect the mechanical properties of the wheels. The between-model variation is thus captured by the shapes of different wheel models and the within-model variation is captured by a random noise. Principal component regression is used to estimate the parameters and the results are interpreted using engineering knowledge.
