“…Mechanical testing methods concerning the stress analysis for a vehicle wheel rim [1,5] inform about wheels life. The loading manner of the wheels is a complex one; further improvement and efficient wheel design will be possible only if their loading will be better understood.…”

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.

“…The interface between the two components is handled using contact elements. Preliminary results revealed that the loading shape is in the form of a cosine function about a central angle of 408 from either side of the point of contact with the ground [4][5][6][7][8]. The results are shown in Fig.…”

An extensive finite element analysis of a vehicle wheel subject to the conjoint influence of inflation pressure and radial load (vehicle load) is reported in this paper. The commonly used design considerations in an automotive wheel are presented and discussed. A method for determining the load(s) transmitted from the vehicle to the wheel is detailed and the intrinsic influence of inflation pressure on wheel performance is discussed. The finite element results are compared with experimental measurements of strain obtained using strain gauges. The salient advantage of the finite element analysis as an attractive and cost-effective approach to the design and analysis of vehicle wheels is elaborated.
