Importance of wheel in the automobile is obvious. The vehicle may be towed without the engine but at the same time even that is also not possible without the wheels, the wheels along the tire has to carry the vehicle load, provide cushioning effect and cope with the steering control. Generally wheel spokes are the supports consisting of a radial member of a wheel joining the hub to the rim. Spokes make vehicles look great but at the same time they require attention in maintenance. To perform their functions best, the spokes must be kept under the right amount of tension. If a spoke does break, the wheel generally becomes instantly unbalanced also the hub may break. The purpose of the car wheel rim provides a firm base on which to fit the tire. The motorcycle riders are subjected to extreme vibrations due to the vibrations of its engine, improper structural design of the motorcycle and the bad road conditions. So in this project the attempt has been made to reduce the vibrations of vehicle by providing springs instead of the spokes at the wheel. The springs will work as suspension members at wheels as well as they will provide proper strength that is adequate to proper operation of the wheel. The CAD model of a motor cycle will be made in solid works and later it is analyzed in ANSYS 14.5. The results of suspension of ordinary wheel rim and spring based rim will be compared.
Radial Fatigue Analysis of An Alloy WheelIJERA Editor
Importance of wheel in the automobile is obvious. The vehicle (car) may be towed without the engine but at the same time even that is also not possible without the wheels, the wheels along the tyre has to carry the vehicle load, provide cushioning effect and cope with the steering control. The main requirements of an automobile wheel are; it must be strong enough to perform the above functions. It should be balanced both statically as well as dynamically. It should be lightest possible so that the unsprung weight is least. The Wheel has to pass three types of tests before going into production, they are Cornering fatigue test, Radial fatigue test and Impact test. In this thesis radial fatigue analysis is done to find the number of cycles at which the wheel is going to fail. The 2D of the wheel was created in MDT, the drafting package and the same was exported to ANSYS, the finite element package using IGES translator where the 3D model of the wheel is created. The wheel is meshed using SOLID 45 element. A load of 2500N was applied on the hub area of the wheel and a pressure of 0.207N/mm2 is applied on the outer surface of the rim. The pitch circle holes are constrained in all degrees of freedom. The analysis is carried under these constraints and the results are taken to carryout for further analysis i.e. fatigue module to find the life of the wheel.

GEOMETRICAL AND MATERIAL OPTIMIZATION OF ALLOY WHEEL FOR FOUR WHEELERIjripublishers Ijri
Alloy wheels are automobile wheels which are made from an alloy of aluminum or magnesium metals or sometimes a
mixture of both. Alloy wheels differ from normal steel wheels because of their lighter weight, which improves the steering
and the speed of the car. Alloy wheels will reduce the unstrung weight of a vehicle compared to one fitted with standard
steel wheels. The benefit of reduced unstrung weight is more precise steering as well as a nominal reduction in fuel
consumption.

The vibration analysis of automobile outer rear view mirror with its developm...eSAT Journals
Abstract The external and internal mirrors used particularly in high mass recreational and commercial vehicles are prone to vibrations. Effect of undesired vibrations in the mirror assembly like blurring of image, breaking of the mirror glass, breaking of plastic mounting bracket due to resonance is a major challenge and requires vibration analysis based studies during the development stage of the mirror assembly. The purpose of this study was to carry out vibration analysis on a basic pre-existing mirror assembly from an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and further develop this assembly to increase its first fundamental frequency above the target specified by the OEM. Finite element model for the automobile rear view mirror was created to predict mirror vibration response based on modal analysis study. The design changes in various parts of mirror assembly were done in solid works and the Hypermesh 9.0 was used to prepare the FEA model. The materials used in this FEA model were initially provided by the mirror manufacturer and also some modification was done based on the study. Hypermesh Optistruct solver was used to build the complete FEA ORVM model. Vibration modes were predicted for the mirror assembly with a special focus on the mirror mounting bracket as it’s the only part through which the vibrations transfers to mirror assembly in actual vehicle. The natural frequency of the first mirror FEA model was correlated with the first test results and then further iterations were done using this FEA model to predict the changes required in material and geometry to achieve the target frequency value.

Hydroforming processes have become popular in recent years, due to the increasing demands for lightweight parts in various fields, such as bicycle, automotive, aircraft and aerospace industries. This technology is relatively new as compared with rolling, forging or stamping. Comparing to conventional manufacturing via stamping and welding, tube (THF) and sheet (SHF) Hydroforming offers several advantages, such as decrease in work piece cost, tool cost and product weight, improvement of structural stability and increase of the strength and stiffness of the formed parts, more uniform thickness distribution, fewer secondary operations, etc. This presentation presents extensive possibilities of component development by means of Hydroforming processes.
Structural and Fatigue Analysis of Two Wheeler Lighter Weight Alloy WheelIOSR Journals
Importance of wheel in the automobile is obvious. The vehicle may be towed without the engine but
at the same time even that is also not possible without the wheels, the wheels along the tire has to carry the
vehicle load, provide cushioning effect and cope with the steering control. Generally wheel spokes are the
supports consisting of a radial member of a wheel joining the hub to the rim. The most commonly used materials
for making Wheel spokes are with features of excellent lightness, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance,
characteristics of casting, low temperature, high damping property, machine processing and recycling, etc. This
metal main advantage is reduced weight, high accuracy and design choices of the wheel. This metal is useful for
energy conservation because it is possible to re-cycle. Spokes make vehicles look great but at the same time they
require attention in maintenance. To perform their functions best, the spokes must be kept under the right
amount of tension. The two main types of motorcycle rims are solid wheels, in which case the rim and spokes
are all cast as one unit and the other spoke wheels, where the motorcycle rims are laced with spokes. These
types of wheels require unusually high spoke tension, since the load is carried by fewer spokes. If a spoke does
break, the wheel generally becomes instantly unridable also the hub may break. Presently, for motor-cycles
Aluminium alloy wheels are used, currently now replacing by new magnesium alloy due its better properties
than Al-alloy. An important implication of this paper or the problem stated here is to “analyse the stress and the
displacement distribution comparing the results obtained”. In addition, this work extends Proper analysis of the
wheel plays an important role for the safety of the rider. This paper deals with the static &fatigue analysis of the
wheel. The present work attempts to analyse the safe load of the alloy wheel, which will indicate the safe drive is
possible. A typical alloy wheel configuration of Suzuki GS150R commercial vehicle is chosen for study. Finite

The essential of car wheel rim is to provide a firm base on which to fit the tyre. Its dimensions, shape should be
suitable to adequately accommodate the particular tyre required for the vehicle. In this project a tyre of car
wheel rim belonging to the disc wheel category is considered. Design is an important industrial activity which
influences the quality of the product. The wheel rim is modeled by using modeling software catiav5r17. By
using this software the time spent in producing the complex 3- D models and the risk involved in the design and
manufacturing process can be easily minimized. So the modeling of the wheel rim is made by using CATIA.
Later this CATIA modal is imported to ANSYS WORKBENCH 14.5 for analysis work. ANSYS
WORKBENCH 14.5 is the latest software used for simulating the different forces, pressure acting on the
component and also calculating and viewing the results. By using ANSYS WORKBENCH 14.5 software
reduces the time compared with the method of mathematical calculations by a human. ANSYS WORKBENCH
14.5 static structural analysis work is carried out by considered three different materials namely aluminum alloy
,magnesium alloy and structural steel and their relative performances have been observed respectively. In
addition to wheel rim is subjected to modal analysis, a part of dynamic analysis is carried out its performance is
observed. In this analysis by observing the results of both static and dynamic analysis obtained magnesium alloy
is suggested as best material.

Double wishbone designs allow the engineer to carefully control the motion of the wheel throughout suspension travel. 3-D model of the Lower Wishbone Arm is prepared by using CAD software for modal and stress analysis. The forces and moments are used as the boundary conditions for finite element model of the wishbone arm. By using these boundary conditions static analysis is carried out. Then making the load as a function of time; quasi-static analysis of the wishbone arm is carried out. A finite element based optimization is used to optimize the design of lower wishbone arm. Topology optimization and material optimization techniques are used to optimize lower wishbone arm design.
In this research work, suitable lightweight material is found for chassis frame by analyzing chassis with different
materials like structural steel, aluminum alloy and Epoxy E-Glass UD composite materials. The selected material should have the
sufficient strength to carry the load coming on to the chassis when it is supporting the vehicle. With reduction in the weight of the
chassis, reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, which leads to the reduction in fuel. Thus, the usage of lightweight materials in
manufacturing of chassis frame has the advantages. The materials used should help in reducing the weight of the vehicle while
maintaining the necessary strength for supporting the expected load acting on the frame under various operating conditions.
ANSYS finite element software is used to analyze the performance of the chassis with different materials. The 3D model of the
chassis frame is developed by SOLIDWORKS software and numerical analysis is carried out by ANSYS. The model of the ladder
frame is developed using generic specifications. The FEM analysis was done on chassis frame for its deformation and stresses by
applying maximum load. The von-misses stresses, strain and deformations of the chassis with structural steel, aluminum alloy and
composite materials are compared. Composite materials are observed to be better with less weight with similar performance. It is
found that composite (E-glass) is more preferable material for chassis frame.

Making model of dual axis solar tracking with Maximum Power Point Trackingijsrd.com
Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system. As a result of the experiment, the voltage generated by the proposed tracking system has an overall of about 28.11% more than the fixed angle PV system. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction in medium and large scale systems. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or both.

Reducing Silicon Real Estate and Switching Activity Using Low Power Test Patt...ijsrd.com
Power dissipation is a challenging problem for today's system-on-chip design and test. This paper presents a novel architecture which generates the test patterns with reduced switching activities; it has the advantage of low test power and low hardware overhead. The proposed LP-TPG (test pattern generator) structure consists of modified low power linear feedback shift register (LP-LFSR), m-bit counter, gray counter, NOR-gate structure and XOR-array. The seed generated from LP-LFSR is EXCLUSIVE-OR ed with the data generated from gray code generator. The XOR result of the sequence is single input changing (SIC) sequence, in turn reduces the switching activity and so power dissipation will be very less. The proposed architecture is simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinx ISE9.2.The Xilinx chip scope tool will be used to test the logic running on FPGA.
Defending Reactive Jammers in WSN using a Trigger Identification Service.ijsrd.com
In the last decade, the greatest threat to the wireless sensor network has been Reactive Jamming Attack because it is difficult to be disclosed and defend as well as due to its mass destruction to legitimate sensor communications. As discussed above about the Reactive Jammers Nodes, a new scheme to deactivate them efficiently is by identifying all trigger nodes, where transmissions invoke the jammer nodes, which has been proposed and developed. Due to this identification mechanism, many existing reactive jamming defending schemes can be benefited. This Trigger Identification can also work as an application layer .In this paper, on one side we provide the several optimization problems to provide complete trigger identification service framework for unreliable wireless sensor networks and on the other side we also provide an improved algorithm with regard to two sophisticated jamming models, in order to enhance its robustness for various network scenarios.
DESIGN OF FIXTURE OF CONNECTING ROD FOR BORING OPERATIONijsrd.com
Connecting rod is very important part of engine. It should be accurately machined with the acceptable tolerance. Also the fluctuations of dimensions in work-piece to work piece should be minimum so that it will be easier to assemble in engine. But it has been observed that the required dimensions for the bolt diameter and smaller end diameter for the connecting rod are not continuously achievable by using the existing fixture. The diameters required of the bolts and the smaller end of the said connecting rod are 10±0.05 mm and 24±0.01 mm respectively The aim of this project is to design and development of a new fixture for machining (Boring) operation using designing software's i.e. Pro E and analysis using ANSYS ,which can eliminate the said problems. And the production rate will also increase up to 15% which is quite objective. So for that, a new hydraulic fixture is designed and observed that dimensional accuracy, increased production rate up to 15% and more output per day with boring operation. Which defines process is satisfactory enough and validates the project.

Abstract— Importance of wheel in the automobile is
obvious. The vehicle may be towed without the engine but
at the same time even that is also not possible without the
wheels, the wheels along the tire has to carry the vehicle
load, provide cushioning effect and cope with the steering
control. Generally wheel spokes are the supports consisting
of a radial member of a wheel joining the hub to the rim.
Spokes make vehicles look great but at the same time they
require attention in maintenance. To perform their functions
best, the spokes must be kept under the right amount of
tension. If a spoke does break, the wheel generally becomes
instantly unbalanced also the hub may break. The purpose of
the car wheel rim provides a firm base on which to fit the
tire. The motorcycle riders are subjected to extreme
vibrations due to the vibrations of its engine, improper
structural design of the motorcycle and the bad road
conditions. So in this project the attempt has been made to
reduce the vibrations of vehicle by providing springs instead
of the spokes at the wheel. The springs will work as
suspension members at wheels as well as they will provide
proper strength that is adequate to proper operation of the
wheel. The CAD model of a motor cycle will be made in
solid works and later it is analyzed in ANSYS 14.5. The
results of suspension of ordinary wheel rim and spring based
rim will be compared.

NOMENCLATURE OF WHEEL:
Wheel: Wheel is generally constitute of rim and
disc
Rim: This is a part where the tire is installed
Disc: This is a part of the rim where it is fixed to
the
axle hub
Offset: This is a space between wheel mounting
surface where it is bolted to hub and center of the
line.
Bead Seat: Bead seat approaches in contact with
the bead face and it is a part of rim which holds the
tire in a radial direction
Hump: It is a bump what was put on the bed seat
for the bead to prevent the tire from sliding off the
rim while the vehicle is moving
I. INTRODUCTION
Several thousand years ago was the start of the history of
wheel when the human race began to use the log to transport
heavy objects. The original of the wheel were the round
slices of a log and it was gradually reinforced and used in
this form for centuries on both carts and wagons.
There are many different types of wheel rims and
they can be divided into many types depending on the
manufacturing processes material used etc. As shown in
Fig.1 shows different kinds of wheels like steel disk,
aluminum alloy and spoke wheel which all are used for
different purposes today.
`Steel Disc Aluminium alloy Spoke Wheel
Fig 1: Types of Wheel rim
The steel disk wheel and the light alloy wheel are
the most typical installation. The method of manufacturing
the light alloy wheel, which has become popular in recent
years, is explained here. The manufacturing method for the
light alloy wheel is classified into two. They are cast metal
or the forged manufacturing methods.
Accordingly they also can be divided into one-
piece, two piece and three-piece rims. Wheel rims can be
made by different manufacturing methods like casting and
forging.
The present scenario in automobile industry
focuses on continually reducing weight of the automobile

and maintaining the efficiency constant or increasing it.
Different material has been used on the same design for
reducing weight of the automobile and still materials or
design modifications scope are there to reduce weight as
well as maintain efficiency. Another most important aspect
is to reduce the vibrations at as least as possible to get a
comfortable ride.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Saurabh M Paropate* et al.[1] a parametric model was
designed for Alloy wheel used in two wheelers from
existing model of pulsar 150 cc. For modal analysis, the
model was built, loads were applied and solutions were
obtained. A fatigue lifetime prediction method of alloy
wheels was proposed to ensure their durability at the initial
design stage. Aluminum, magnesium, carbon fiber and
thermoplastic resin were analyzed for the present model. For
all comparing the three materials of stress, displacement,
total deformation, weight, and cost of material suggestion
was that the thermoplastic resin is best material for wheel
rim but due to their high manufacturing cost presently we
are not using this material.
S Vikranth Deepak1*, C Naresh and Syed Altaf
Hussain[2] In this project a parametric model was designed
for Alloy wheel used in four wheeler by collecting data from
reverse engineering process from existing model. Car model
is Ford Fiesta. Aluminum, zinc and Magnesium materials
were compared for model and analysis showed that
aluminum alloy was best for the model of wheel rim for
load, factor fatigue life, stress, strain, total deformation etc.
Ravi Lidoriya, Sanjay Chaudhary and Anil Kumar
Mohopatra [3] In this project work the entire wheel design
of two wheeler was chosen and analyzed by applying
different load and redesign the wheel again to minimize the
deformation and material will be changed from aluminum to
PEEK(polyether ether ketone). After analyzing all the
materials it is clear that PEEK 90HMF20 is best material for
the replace of Aluminum material.

A typical alloy wheel configuration of Suzuki GS150R
commercial vehicle is chosen for study. Finite element
analysis has been carried out to determine the safe stresses
and pay loads. The present work attempts to analyse the safe
load of the alloy wheel, which will indicate the safe drive is
possible. The author derived that stresses induced in 4-
Spokes Alloy wheel are less as compared with Al-Alloy of
the 5and 6 Spokes. The weights of the Mg alloy with 4-
Spokes wheel is less as compared with Al-Alloy of the 6, 5
and 4 Spokes. Fatigue life cycle for the Mg-alloy is more as
compared with all Al-alloys materials.

The project was to design the motor cycle alloy wheel using
the PRO-E and Analyze with the ANSYS. The analysis is
done with the maximum load can be applied on rim. The
rear wheel and front wheel have their own maximum load
that can be supported. The best one is titanium alloy to
compare with aluminum and magnesium alloy „But the cost
of the titanium alloy is high. It should corrosion resistance
and also the life is more.
N. Satyanarayana & Ch.Sambaiah [6] In this paper
a detailed “Fatigue Analysis of Aluminum Alloy Wheel
under Radial Load”. During the part of project a static and
fatigue analysis of aluminum alloy wheel A356.2 was
carried out using FEA package. They found out the total
deformation, alternative stress and shear stress by using
FEA software. And also found out the life, safety factor and
damage of alloy wheel by using S-N curve. S-N curve is
input for a A.356.2 material.
Mr. Sunil N. Yadav, Prof. N. S. Hanamapure [7]
this work was aimed to investigate the effect of slip angle on
stress distribution and fatigue life for radial fatigue testing
SAE J328 standard was used. The stresses are much higher
in the disc area than the rim area. The likely failures
locations identified in the wheel rim by finite element
analysis are stud holes, stiffening buldge and ventilation
holes.
Jaimon Dennis Quadros, Suhas, Vaishak N.L [8],
Shilpa.B4 An attempt has been made to analyze and obtain
the idealized operating conditions of the human body. The
analysis has shown that for the given vehicle and human
body, the idealized operating speed for HERO HONDA
SPLENDOR vehicle on the terrain of specified amplitude at
given input is found to be 49.66 km/hr on the frequency of 8
HZ.
T. Siva Prasad,T. Krishnaiah, J. Md. Iliyas,
M.Jayapal Reddy[9] static analysis work was carried out by
considered two different materials namely aluminum and
forged steel and their relative performances have been
observed respectively. In addition to wheel rim is subjected
to modal analysis, a part of dynamic analysis is carried out
its performance is observed. In This paper by observing the
results of both static and dynamic analysis obtained forged
steel is suggested as best material.
BGN Satya prasad M Anil kumar[10] Here a mass
reduction of 340gm per wheel is achieved which mounts to
1.7kg per car considering the spare wheel. This mass
reduction results in two benefits. Decrease in total weight of
the car and decrease in cost of production by doing topology
optimization.
Rajarethinam P, Periasamy K[11] . Stresses
induced in 5Spokes Alloy wheel are less as compared with
Al-Alloy of the 6 Spokes. The Induced Stress due to
braking torque in the 5 Al-Spoke wheel are lesser than the
remaining wheels. Material reduction can be done by
reducing number of Spokes.
P. Meghashyam, S. Girivardhan Naiduand N.
Sayed Baba[12] In addition to this rim is subjected to
vibration analysis (modal analysis), a part of dynamic
analysis is carried out its performance is observed. In this
paper by observing the results of both static and modal
analysis obtained forged steel is suggested as best material.
By comparing the aluminum and forged steel the
conclusion was made that the behavior of forged steel was
better than aluminum since in both the cases von-mises
stresses is less than the ultimate strength, talking deflections
into account.
Shivakumara BS[13] The literature review reveals
that the vibrations are most hazardous to the health if it
exceeds the limit. The experiments were conducted to
measure the magnitude of the vibrations acting on the rider
during motorcycle riding under various road conditions.
The vibrational effects are more hazardous on
motorcyclist. As for as possible, measures is to be taken to
avoid prolonged exposure to vibration.

III. CONCLUSION
From review of above literature we can conclude the
following points:
Wheel rim of different composite material can be
made out like tungsten, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy
wheel etc.
Composite material reduces the overall weight of
the automobile hence enhances more mileage of it.
Fatigue life Analysis has to be done in accordance
to stress analysis to know the exact lifecycle of
wheel rim.
Vibration is also the most important criteria
nowadays so design changes should be done to
reduce the vibration and have a comfortable ride.
Wheel rim parameters like rim diameter, camber
angle caster angle hub diameter and hub width are
to be changed and rim‟s topology has to be
optimized.
The objective for my PG dissertation is to modify
the conventional design of wheel rim in order to have
reduced weight and low vibration and to analyze it and also
to compare the results with conventional wheel rim.
