The vehicle may be towed without the engine but it is not possible without the wheels. Road wheel is a significant structural member of the vehicular suspension system that supports the static and dynamic loads encountered during vehicle operation. As in the case of an automobile wheel maximum load is applied on the alloy wheel. Proper analysis of the alloy wheel plays a significant role for the safety of the passenger cars. Alloy wheels which are intended for normal use on passenger cars, undergo three tests and have to pass before going into the production: Dynamic Cornering Fatigue Test, Dynamic Radial Fatigue Test and Impact Test. Most of aluminium alloy wheels manufacturing companies have done several testing of their product however information of their method on simulation test is often kept limited. During a part of research a static and fatigue analysis of aluminum alloy wheel A356.0 was carried out using FEA package. The 3-D model was imported from CATIA into ANSYS using the appropriate format. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out by simulating the test conditions to analyze stress distribution and fatigue life of the aluminium alloy wheel rim of passenger car. Experimental analyses are carried out by radial fatigue testing machine for evaluation of fatigue life under influence of camber angle. The test indicates that integrating FEA and nominal stress method is a good and efficient method to predict alloy wheels fatigue life. In this paper by observing the results of both static and dynamic analysis the aluminium alloy is suggested as better material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
