Experimental Studies of Optimization of Automotive wheel Rim using ANSYS

Purpose The purpose of this work is to investigate the optimization of automotive wheel rim using ansys. Design Methodology Approach In this study heavy stresses in the rim was developed, the critical stress and number cycles to failure were to be found. The purpose of the car wheel rim was to provide a firm base to hold the tire .Its dimensions and shape should be suitable to accommodate the particular tire required for the vehicle .In this study ,a car wheel rim considered .The wheel rim was designed by using modeling software SOLID WORKS V13.The solid model was then imported to ANSYS for static analysis. Findings The experimental results indicate that the static analysis is carried out by considering the three different materials namely steel alloy, alluminium alloy and their relative performance have been observed .In addition to this the rim is subjected to fatigue analysis using MSV fatigue software and its performance is observed .The results of static and fatigue analysis obtained from three different materials reveals that the steel alloy is the best material of wheel rim. Originality value This paper explains the effect of different materials on the wheel through by vonmises stresses and number of cycles in fatigue analysis. R. Ashok Kumar | G. Amarnath | K.
