Description

The "rim" refers to the "outer edge of a wheel that retains the tyre," as defined by Merriam-Webster. It is the portion of the wheel that has an exterior circular design and acts as the mounting place for the inner edge of the tyre on automobiles and other kinds of vehicles, such as trucks and cars. Its primary function is to protect the wheel from damage. The rim of a bicycle wheel, which is essentially a large hoop attached to the outermost ends of the wheel's spokes and serves as a container for the tyre and the tube, is a good example of this idea. When seen from a cross-section, the rim is deepest in the middle and tapers out toward the outer corners. In this paper, the wheel rim of a Kia carnival premium vehicle is modelled and analysed with the use of cad/cam software. After being built with the help of solid works, the item was analysed using both structural and dynamic boundary conditions. In addition, a material that is capable of withstanding high speeds and maximal loads has been proposed as a boundary condition. Materials al-7075 and al-7068 were selected for the investigation in this particular instance, and a Kia carnival premium vehicle was selected as the subject of the investigation. The boundary conditions comprised a variety of loads, ranging from a minimum of three members to a maximum of nine members. The highest number of members was nine. In conclusion, the most finest material that could possibly be used for the paper.
