The Structure Optimization of Aluminum Alloy Automotive Wheels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aluminum alloy automotive wheels are widely used and their quality safety is vital. So their structure design should be optimized. Based on the wheel bending fatigue test and the analysis of aluminum alloy automotive wheel's structure characteristics, the wheel's load was discussed and the analysis of the wheel was done by using Solidworks and ANSYS. The analysis result provides scientific basis for the optimization design of the aluminum alloy automotive wheels.
