Abstract

Wheel assemblies used in automobiles consist of Hub, Knuckle, Bearings and Wheel usually integrated as unibody or part components. The materials used for these components are mainly cast iron, mild steel, aluminum alloys, ductile iron, and steel spokes. Usage of an alternate material like the Nylon-6,6 has been proposed in this work which is intended to reduce the overall weight of the wheel assembly. Lightweight hub and wheel assembly would reduce the inertia, the work done to move or stop the vehicle. In this work, Nylon-6,6 has been proposed to be used for the wheel hub by conducting engineering analysis with suitable design yielding reliable FOS with reduction in weight thereby, making Nylon-6,6 a usable material for the wheel hubs. The characteristics of Nylon-6,6 like good mechanical strength, stiffness and mechanical damping ability with good fatigue resistance and ease of manufacturing gives the material an upper hand over other plastic polymers in reducing the unsprung mass without compromising on strength and safety.

尼龙- 6,6塑料聚合物全地形车辆轮毂的设计与分析

汽车上使用的车轮组件由轮毂、转向节、轴承和车轮组成，通常作为一个整体或零件组合在一起。用于这些部件的材料主要是铸铁、低碳钢、铝合金、球墨铸铁和钢制辐条。使用替代材料，如尼龙6,6已在这项工作中提出，其目的是减少车轮总成的整体重量。轻型轮毂和车轮组件将减少惯性，工作所做的移动或停止车辆。在这项工作中，通过进行工程分析，提出将尼龙-6,6用于轮毂，通过适当的设计产生可靠的FOS，从而减轻重量，从而使尼龙-6,6成为轮毂的可用材料。尼龙6,6具有良好的机械强度，刚度和机械阻尼能力，具有良好的抗疲劳性和易于制造的特性，使该材料在减少非簧载质量而不影响强度和安全性方面优于其他塑料聚合物。
