Research on Approaches to Aluminum Alloy Automotive Wheels' Lightweight Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wheels should meet strength requirements and achieve lightweight design. The analysis of structure characteristics of the aluminum alloy automotive wheels that are widely used was done. Based on the wheel radial fatigue test, the wheel's load was determined. The analysis of the wheel was done applying 3D modeling technology and FEA (finite element analysis) theory, and the results can be used as the theoretical basis of aluminum alloy automotive wheels' lightweight design.
