Abstract
Researchers are focusing more on lightweight vehicle design in response to the automotive industry's growing emphasis on energy efficiency and ecological responsibility. Two important considerations, including safety and technical requirements, must be taken into account while constructing a wheel. The rim and spokes make up the construction of the wheel. The creation of cutting-edge wheel and spoke designs for an automobiles is the objective of this paper. The wheel has been subjected to a finite element analysis using ANSYS. Each material's stress and strain performances may be determined by taking into account magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, and titanium alloy. When analysing the two different designs and three different materials, the findings of the equivalent stress and deformation were compared. This study makes some insightful predictions about the dependability of the structural design, and it offers some helpful references for the design and development of alloy wheels.
