Abstract
A wheel assembly system joins the chassis and the wheels through the suspension system. Any failure in the Wheel assembly is catastrophic to human life, which is why it is vital to develop a safe design. The primary purpose of this project was to design, optimize, and manufacture the wheel assembly system, focused primarily on improving the previous design and reducing the un-sprung weight of the vehicle. The design was to be analyzed and implemented, taking into consideration the various forces acting on the entire wheel assembly system under different conditions such as braking, acceleration, and cornering. Designing and optimization were carried out by using SolidWorks. This paper illustrates in its entirety all the processes, including design, optimization, and manufacturing undertaken by us.
