Abstract

Wheels have vital importance for the safety of the vehicle and special care is needed in order to ensure their durability. The development of the vehicle industry has strongly influenced the design, material selection and manufacturing processes of wheels. The wheels loading manner is a complex one; further improvement and efficient wheel design will be possible only if the loading will be better understood. In this paper, the moped wheel rim is analyzed with finite element method by varying the no. of spots, in order like 24, 21, 18, 15, and 12. The static stresses are studied in order to find the zones with higher stress concentration and to suggest the better design solution. The results of Ansys have been compared with those obtained by using an experimental stand. The present paper deals with the failure pattern at the weld location of tubeless wheel rims.
