DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF ALLOY WHEEL RIM

Abstract

The project is to design the motor cycle alloy wheel using the PRO-E and Analyzedwith the ANSYS. Ansysis a tool used for the evaluation of systems and structures. It is needed to analyzecomplex structures, where asvery simple ones. There are three processes involved which are preprocessing, analysis and visualization. The chosen material was an Aluminumalloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy. The aluminumalloy is better to the conventional steel wheels in strength and durability. It has excellent wear resistance, anticorrosion properties and longer service life as estimated by the stress frequency distribution. The analysis is done with the maximum load can be applied on rim. The rear wheel and front wheel have their own maximum load that can be supported. It was found that the stress of the analysis is still in the range of the yield strength of Aluminumalloy. The Displacement is at the low value. This design is still in the safe condition.
