Abstract

The optimisation studies on wheels have ge nerated much interest
among the researchers ill order /0 upgrade the wheel
performance. Wheels find applica tion as wheel in automobiles.
trains. as pulleys, helical gears etc. Optimum shape of wheel is
the fundamental objec tive of designers. Finite Element Method
(FEM) is an appropriate technique suitable fo r computer
implementa tion. This study is mainly concerned about [he
analysis ofstress and deflection of the web of wheel under static
loading conditions. Modification ofgeometric parameters such as
web inclination, fillet radius and rim-volume reduce the stress
distribution and deflection of wheel axial loading condition. The
investigation reveals information on shape optimisation and the
resulting stress reduction.
