Abstract

The essential of car wheel rim is to provide a firm base on which to fit the tyre. Its dimensions, shape should be suitable to adequately accommodate the particular tyre required for the vehicle. In this project a tyre of car wheel rim belonging to the disc wheel category is considered. The wheel rim is model by using SOLIDWORKS 2016. By using this software, the risk involved in the design and manufacturing process can be easily minimized. So the modeling of the wheel rim is made by using SOLIDWORKS. Later this wheel rim modal is imported to ANSYS WORKBENCH 16 for analysis work. ANSYS WORKBENCH 16 is the latest software used for simulating and also calculating the different properties and viewing the results. ANSYS WORKBENCH 16 static structural analysis work is carried out by considering four different aluminium alloys namely 6061 and 6066, their relative performances have been observed respectively. In addition to wheel rim is subjected to modal analysis, part of dynamic analysis is carried out its performance is observed. In this analysis by observing the results of both static and dynamic analysis obtained best material is suggested for making an effective rim structure.
