Abstract |
|
In this study the Optimization of Number of Spot welds on Automobile Wheel Rim using Finite Element Analysis is studied. Spot welded rim must pass certain tests like Weld Strength Test (WST), Dynamic Cornering Fatigue Test (DCFT) and Radial Fatigue Test (RFT).In dynamic cornering fatigue Test a moment is applied on the rim as specified by the company standards. We choose three parameters for optimization namely, Number of spots on rim, spot diameter and thickness of rim. Finite Element Analysis Models are developed for the tests mentioned. Experiments of the test is carried out. FEA results and Experimental results are compared for best combinations of selected parameters. Also, in DCFT by use of Finite Element Model we studied the pattern of stresses on the rim as well as the disc. |
