    This document discusses reducing design cycle time for alloy wheels by automating repetitive design tasks. It studies the basic geometric model of alloy wheel configurations and how to generate wheel variants based on specifications like diameter, spokes, offset, and bolt patterns. The goal is to capture design knowledge and automatically produce concept designs from input specifications to minimize errors and cycle time for wheel manufacturers in a competitive market.

    STUDYOF CAR ALLOY WHEEL

    ABSTRACT
    • Companies are focusing on new concepts and developed technologies to
    reduce design and development cycle time and increase the variety of
    products to meet the rapid changing customer requirements in the highly
    competitive automobile sector. Wheel manufacturers are designing and
    developing a large number of varieties of wheels for passenger cars according
    to customer requirement to retain the market share in global competitive
    environment. Hence manufacturers are focusing on customization of wheels
    according to customer specification. During customization of wheels the
    similar repetitive design tasks can be captured and reused automatically.
    • This project is to study on the basic geometric model of alloy wheel geometry
    configuration and study the generated variants model of alloy wheel for given
    specifications like wheel diameter, number of spokes, wheel offset, bolt hole
    pattern, rim width etc. This reduces the design cycle time by automating
    mundane work activities of product development process.
    INTRODUCTION
     New and developed technologies to reduce design
    and development cycle time and developing the
    variety of products to meet the customer requirement

     Manufacturers are focusing on customization of


    wheels according to customer specifications to reduce
    design and development cycle time

     The designs of alloy wheels depend on wheel


    configuration such as capacity, rim width, rim
    diameter, wheel offset, and bolts pattern, type of
    spoke and no. of spokes.
    OBJECTIVE

    To study on reduced design cycle time by automating mundane


    work activities of product development process.

    capturing the knowledge.


    THREE MAIN VARIATIONS OF WHEELS

    Steel wheels
    The pressed wheels are light, strong, stiff and
    resistant to accidental damage.

    Wire spoke wheels


    They were light yet strong as they not only had to
    withstand the weight of the car but also forces of
    acceleration, braking and cornering.

    Alloy wheels
    Main advantage of being lighter than the other types of
    rims, promotes stiffness and distribute stresses over a
    wider area.
    MANUFACTURING METHODS OF
    WHEEL/RIM

    One piece rim


     This is a method of the casting or the forge at the same time
    by one as for the rim and disc.

    Two piece rim


     This is the methods which separately manufacture the rim and
    disc similar to the manufacture of the steel wheel and these
    components are welded afterwards.

    Three-piece rim
     This is a method to manufacture each flange separately, and
    combining later to the disc by welding.
    WHEEL DIMENSIONS

     Sizes are determined by rim diameters, rim width and flange height.

     A typical wheel size might be 14 x 7J. Rim diameter and rim widths
    are always expressed in inches, so this wheel is 14 inches in
    diameter and has a rim width of 7 inches.

     The letter combination following the rim width indicates the flange
    height in inches.

     A J rim has 0.68-inch high flange while a K rim has 0.77-inch high
    flange
    WHEEL DIMENSIONS
    WHEEL OFFSET
    Offset is the distance from the mounting
    face of the wheel spider to the rim centerline

    Offset is positive when the mounting face


    (lug circle) is outboard of the centerline and
    negative if the lug circle is inboard of the
    centerline

    All wheels are for either positive, negative


    or zero offset.
    APPLICATION

    The main application of this method in the field of


    product development is to automatically generates
    product concept from input specification.
    CONCLUSION

     The variants of wheel design based on input and requirement.

     The complete generation is drive through design rules and empirical


    relations embedded in the application.

     Major advantage includes immediate updating of all parameters


    complying with future.

     Repeatable errors are minimized (level of committing error during


    repeated use completely eliminated).
