Abstract

This paper deals with the design and optimization of Aluminium Alloy wheel rim of a Maruti Suzuki Alto car using Solid works and Finite Element Analysis software named Ansys. The main motive of our project is to convert a traditional wheel rim with nave plate into an aesthetically sound wheel rim bearing less weight as compared to traditional wheel rim. The newer design of the wheel rim is done over solid works software in which the dimensions of the traditional wheel rim were not altered but the Nave plate was modified into an Alloy wheel rim with spokes. And further the Static structural, Modal and Random vibration analysis was carried out to test the durability of our newly proposed design of the wheel rim. This new design will be less in weight and cost compared to Traditional wheel rim.
