ABSTRACT
The rim is the “outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire”. It makes up the outer circular design of the wheel on
which the inside edge of the tire is mounted on vehicles such as automobiles. A standard automotive steel wheel
rim is made from a rectangular sheet metal. Design is an important industrial activity which influences the
quality of the product being produced. The wheel rim is modeled by using modeling software SOLIDWORKS .
Later this modal is imported to ABAQUS for analysis. Static load analysis has been done by applying a pressure
of 5N/mm2. The materials taken for analysis are steel alloy, Aluminium, Magnesium, and Forged Steel. The
displacement occurred to the rim is noted after applying the static load to different materials and maximum
principal stresses were also noted
Keywords: Design, modeling software, ABAQUS, analysis, SOLIDWORKS, static load, principal stresses.
CONCLUSION
1) The Maximum Principal Stress developed in
steel alloy during static analysis is 71.88 N/mm2
at pressure 5 N/mm2 and the displacement
occurred is 0.1579mm
2) The Maximum Principal Stress developed in
aluminum alloy during static analysis is 71.61
N/mm2 at pressure 5 N/mm2 and the
displacement occurred is 0.512 mm
3) The Maximum Principal Stress developed in
Magnesium alloy during static analysis is 72.35
N/mm2 at pressure 5 N/mm2 and the
displacement occurred is 0.8228
4) The Maximum Principal Stress developed in
Forged steel during static analysis is 72.11
N/mm2 at pressure 5 N/mm2 and the
displacement occurred is 0.1761
From results we can make out, in steel alloy
the displacement occurred is smaller than
Aluminium, Magnesium and Forged steel. Hence
Steel alloy is more feasible to use than aluminum.
Hence steel alloy have more life and durability
compared to aluminum.
