Highlights
A wheel rim is a highly stressed component in an automobile that is subjected to bending and torsional loads.Since it is subjected to high stresses and demand of long life, light in weight, which it becomes very important to select right material and manufacturing process in rim design.There are competitions among materials and manufacturing processes due to cost performance and weight
Modified Three Piece Wheel Rim Design As per above table no. 2 and figure no. 4 where wheel rim design changes and process improvement were done for optimization, cad data has been modified in Pro-E
Optimized wheel rim design proposal made based on Finite element analysis (FEA)
Summary
A wheel rim is a highly stressed component in an automobile that is subjected to bending and torsional loads. Tata 1109 ILCV Vehicle recommended wheel rim size is 6.5 x 20 is as per JATMA standard for 8.25R20-14PR tire size. Wheel rim was taken for weight optimization analysis and experimental study purpose refer below three piece wheel rim figure no.. Wheel rim was taken for weight optimization analysis and experimental study purpose refer below three piece wheel rim figure no.1 In this perspective expecting wheel rim design with significant mass reduction without compromise in its function and performance. Tata 1109 ILCV vehicles recommended wheel rim size has higher weight, cost which need to be analyze and optimized under finite element analysis. Analysis of wheel rim to determine the material removal area, changes in von misses stresses and deformation for current and modified rim design within given boundary condition to gain significant advantages for lighter mass vehicle wheels
