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.

Keywords
