Author Name Mukund Fartade, P.H.Jain, V.V.Mane Abstract The vehicle may be towed without the engine but it is not possible without the wheels. The design and analysis of wheels have drastically improved for the last two decades. Research works have shown the possibility of using a wide range of materials that gives out maximum efficiency for the users. Alloy wheels are practically the mixtures of two or more different metals. Their unique properties over the conventional ones have made them the most favoured. This project involves the design and analysis of an existing car model. The design and the composition of wheel are aimed towards increasing the strength and other parameters that are involved in the failure of these wheels. An alloy wheel is selected for this purpose and its composition is to be varied for getting the best results and comparing them with the existing composition and properties. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out by simulating the test conditions to analyze stress distribution and fatigue life of the aluminum alloy wheel rim of passenger car. Experimental analyses are carried out by radial fatigue testing machine for evaluation of fatigue life under influence of camber angle. The test indicates that integrating FEA and nominal stress method is a good and efficient method to predict alloy wheels fatigue life.
