Design and Analysis of Aluminum Alloy Wheel

Abstract

Wheels are one of the most critical components in Automotive Engineering, As Fatigue prediction has been important issue in the design of aluminum alloy wheel. This work discuss the finite element techniques for simulation of functionality tests of aluminum alloy wheel and its Optimization of weight as well as stresses developed in the wheel. In this wheel is designed following the automobile standards for wheels and with required fatigue cycles, keeping in mind to reduce the mass of wheel optimally. To achieve this, different design iterations are modeled and analyzed to achieve a design with higher life cycles, strength and low mass. The modeling is made using unigraphics, and analysis is carried out in ansys work bench.
