The wheel is an active area of automobile component design and development. The wheel must be durable enough to tolerate significant loads and harsh environment. Temporary tire substituted for spare tire is made in a half band wheel size. Therefore this temporary tire is carried out lightweight and fuel saving of automobile. In this research, structural analysis and fatigue analysis of the temporary steel wheel are carried out using ANSYS 3D-modeling. The model is verified by the equivalent(von-Mises) stress analysis obtained from the ANSYS static structural analysis. Fatigue analysis is performed at the equivalent stress considering the automobile load and moment. Finally, this temporary wheel can be used temporary but not continuously.
In spite of relatively high prices, aluminum wheels rapidly replace traditional steel wheels because of light weight and stylish design. To cope with expanding aluminum wheel market, steel wheel makers try to produce skeleton typed steel wheels adopting high strength steel which are light, stylish and lowprice compared with conventional steel wheel. But skeleton typed steel wheel disks are difficult to form because of complex shapes and low drawability of high strength steel. This paper presents the drawing process design for 5-spoke skeleton steel wheel disk. Through the finite element simulation of various alternatives for multi stage drawing processes, desirable draw die designs were proposed.
