Abstract

Abstract: Wheel rims are the most important part of automobile, in an automobile there are fatigue loads and static loads which are actively participated in design. There are several ways of failure of wheel rim like critical stresses and material failure due to design, dimension and shape of wheel also play vital role in its dimensions and shape vehicle rim design. Present paper studied the Y angle optimization in alloy wheel rim. The present design analysed by ANSYS software. For the structural analysis for the remote force the magnitude applied is 1000N and for the pressure which applied on the wheel is 245kPa. Therefore, so comparing the wheels with the total deformation occurred alloy wheels are better than the steel wheel and comparing the both the alloy wheels multi-spoke alloy wheel is better than the 6-spoke alloy wheel. The total deformation of 8 spoke alloy wheel with 55° Y spoke angle, figure clearly depicted the total deformation maximum value 0.00155mm maximum at base of wheel or outer periphery of wheel rim. Keywords: Wheel Rim, Y Spoke Angle of rim, fillet radius of rim, total deformation occurring, ANSYS
