Modelling and Analysis of Wheel Used in Light Commercial Vehicle

Abstract

A modern wheel of a vehicle is defined as a circular component that is intended to rotate on
an axle bearing. In-order to keep up with the requirements of the market, original equipment
manufacturers utilize the latest technology to design and produce wheels. The prime
technology which vastly helps in the production of wheel rim is computer aided designing
(CAD) software and analysis software. In this paper we have utilized CAD and analysis
software to their fullest potential. The modeling of the wheel is made by using CATIA and is
imported to ANSYS for analysis work. ANSYS programming is utilized for reproducing the
diverse powers, weight following up on the segment and for ascertaining and review the
outcomes. A solver mode in ANSYS programming figures the bending moments ,stress and
deflections their relations without manual mediations, decreases the time contrasted and the
strategy for scientific counts by a human. ANSYS static analysis work is carried out by
considering SAPH 440 material with different geometry (proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and their
relative performances have been observed respectively. In this paper observing the result
Proposal 6 has met the requirement and is suggested for prototyping
