Abstract
Alloy wheels are automobile wheels which are made from an alloy of aluminum or magnesium metals or sometimes a mixture of both. Alloy wheels differ from normal steel wheels because of their lighter weight, which improves the steering and the speed of the car. Alloy wheels will reduce the unstrung weight of a vehicle compared to one fitted with standard steel wheels. The benefit of reduced unstrung weight is more precise steering as well as a nominal reduction in fuel consumption. Alloy is an excellent conductor of heat, improving heat dissipation from the brakes, reducing the risk of brake failure under demanding driving conditions. At present four-wheeler wheels are made of Aluminum Alloys. In this project, Aluminum alloy are comparing with another Alloy. In this project a parametric model is designed for Alloy wheel used in four-wheeler by collecting data from reverse engineering process from existing model. Design is evaluated by analyzing the model by taking the constraints as ultimate stresses and variables as different alloy materials and different loads and goals as maximum outer diameter of the wheel and fitting accessories areas like shaft of the axle and bolts PCD of the car. Car model is Toyota.
Highlights
The tyre works as a wheel only after it is installed on the rim and is inflated
Conclusion and Discussion a) Carbon fiber is subjected to maximum equivalent stress compared to aluminium and E-poxy under radial loading of 200 kg
Deformation in E-poxy is maximum with radial loadings 150kg, 175kg and 200kg, when compared to other two materialsand the minimum deformation is in aluminium under radial loads 150kg, 200kg, and 305kg
Summary
The tyre works as a wheel only after it is installed on the rim and is inflated. The tyre and wheel assembly influences the function and the performance of the vehicle. Once the disc plate is installed inside the cylinder this assembly becomes a wheel.[2] Toyo Tyre Talk at this time would like to introduce basic technical knowledge about passenger vehicle rims. The rim used for vehicles is provided depending on each countries standard.[3] This international standard, similar to tyres, provides for a basic dimension for the rim diameter, width, and the flange shape, etc. Offset is a distance between wheel mounting surface where it is bolted to hub and the centerline of rim.[4] The flange is a part of rim, which holds the both beads of the tyre. Well is a part of rim with depth and width to facilitate tyre mounting and removal from the rim
