Design and Topology Optimization on Car Wheel Rim Using FEA

Abstract

 Since their beginnings, automotive wheels  have evolved over decades. Wood and stone were used to  make the antique wheel rims. The wheel rim, as an essential  and crucial portion of the vehicle, was concentrated on with  excessive effort as research and development blossomed  throughout the industrial revolution. The study is primarily  concerned with improving and optimizing the mass of a car's  wheel rim. The primary goal is to reduce the weight of the  wheel in order to improve the vehicle's overall performance and economy. Cast iron is the material assigned to the basic  model. Following design optimization, the rim is subjected  to material optimization, which involves assigning several  competitive materials to the optimized design and analyzing and observing them under the identical boundary  circumstances. Solid Works is used to solid model the  underlying model and redesign it. Solid works software is  used to do simulations for static analysis and topology  optimization.
