Design and Finite Element Analysis of Car Wheel Hub Retaining Device
Abstract
The car wheel hub retaining device is designed to facilitate manual opening of the drive shaft to hold the hub so that it will not rotate in the same direction as the nut rotation. This device will be used during the process of maintenance or replacement of the drive shaft. The material used for this tool is AISI 1020 Carbon Steel. Infinite element analysis was performed to identify the efficient of this device (tool components). The analysis was performed on the tool components produced to obtain material strength information by using Solidworks software version 2018. Finite Element Analysis was conducted on five components that can be joined together. The result shows that the strength of the materials used exceeds the required design level. Overall it shows each component is able to withstand a given load as the maximum stress obtained still does not exceed the yield stress of the material used.
