Abstract
This paper shows the comparative study of Al alloy wheel rim and composite wheel rim to analyse the strength and weight of 14 inches wheel under same load conditions by using computational modelling and analysis. For this paper model, the wheel rim is created by using a 3D CAD software Creo 3.0, and analysis is done by using ANSYS. For this paper, we select few selected orientations of the composite materials, such as [±35°]FW, [±45°]FW, [±55°]FW, [±75°]FW and Al alloy of grade Al6061 which is commonly used by wheel manufacturing companies. As we know Al alloy is used nowadays commercially for its good strength and aesthetic look, and composite materials are also used by super car manufacturers wheel manufacturers also making wheel for super cars to make them lighter in weight and good in aesthetic looks. In this present paper, design and analysis of the composite wheel with various fibre orientation angles are done with the help of ANSYS composite pre- & post (ACP)-module in ANSYS Workbench 15.0.
