| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 機械與精密工程研究所 === 102 === In this study, Taguchi method and finite element analysis software, ANSYS, was used to carry wheel rim optimization analysis. First, Pro/Engineer was used to create wheel rim geometry model and calculated the weight of wheel rim, then the model was imported to ANSYS to simulate the wheel rim stress under loading. In the study, four design parameters, wheel rim section, wheel rim claws, number of fixed holes and the shape of the wheel rim lightweight were used to explore the main factors affecting stress and weight and investigate the best combination of parameters.
The results show that the optimum parameters for style “a” wheel rim section, 8 claws wheel rim, 6 claw fixed holes, and lightweight style “z” model. The optimal deign stress is 34.87Mpa. The main factors that affect stress is the wheel rim claws, followed by wheel rim section. Taguchi method and ANSYS analysis can indeed save product development costs, and get a better design results.
