Abstract

The research optimizes vehicle wheel rims to create sustainable power and reduce weight. The study employs aluminum alloy AZ80 to lighten wheel rims while retaining safety. The project aims to improve vehicle agility and power generation while reducing pollution and energy use. The research method focuses on improving the efficiency of a vehicle's tire rim to generate renewable energy. The study employs aluminum alloy AZ80 to reduce wheel rim weight. Topological optimization and structural research utilizing the finite element approach show a 15% mass decrease while retaining a safety factor 3. The study’s findings indicate that reducing the weight of the wheel rim using the aluminum alloy AZ80 can result in energy savings and pollution reduction. The research provides insights into boosting wheel stiffness, rigidity, mechanical strength, and fatigue life and suggests a viable route for improving sustainable transportation. This research proves that power may be generated most efficiently from a vehicle's wheel rim. More study is required to realize this method's potential and create superior variants entirely. The research has massive consequences for optimizing automobiles, particularly in Bangladesh, and provides insights for improving wheel stiffness, rigidity, mechanical strength, and fatigue life. The study focuses on generating sustainable electricity utilizing an inverter mechanism and a belt-pulley system within the wheel hub, which provides a viable route for the growth of sustainable transportation. Using the aluminum alloy AZ80 to reduce the weight of the wheel rim can also result in energy savings and pollution reduction.

The research's topological optimization methods and usage of AZ80 aluminum alloy to reduce wheel rim weight are unique. Structural analysis utilizing the finite element approach and mass optimization shows a 15% mass reduction while keeping a safety factor of 3. The research can improve wheel stiffness, rigidity, mechanical strength, and fatigue life, which could lead to sustainable transportation.
