Fender Design

AIM:

The main aim of this project is to design the fender for given styling surface.

FENDER:

A fender is curved portion of the car's body that sits over and houses the wheel.The purpose of the fender is simple to keep mud,rocks,other debris from beign thrown around by the tyres. In other words, the fender is a housing for the wheels that keeps road debris contained. If there was nothing covering the wheels, all kinds of debris would be kicked up by the rotating tires.The fender not only protects your car from sustaining damage from road debris but it prevents this debris from being thrown up at other vehicles on the road and on the pedistrains.

WHEEL ARCH:

It is a curved shape on the fender exactly at obove the wheels.Different countries have different wheel arch regulations in place, and the wheel arch design has to comply with them to be deemed usable in that country.The concept for the calculation of wheel arc radius is to position the wheel inside the fender body , because during motion the car tyres will tend to throw particles present on the road like sand, mudrocks, liquids etc.

TYPES OF FENDER:

We have two types of fender full and half bumper type

Full and half bumper type

So now a days half bumper fender is in use as it reduce the cost of manufacturing of it as compare to full bumper type.

We have received a master section for designing fender drip area as per master section we have designed the drip area in fender.

Fender is mounted basically on 5 important regions. They are
1. Drip Area
2. A-Pillar Mounting Area
3. Sill Mounting Area
4. Bumper Mounting Area
5. Baffle Mounting Area

DRIP MOUNT:

As per master section we have designed a drip mount on the fender design which will be mounted on the engine compartment.While designing the drip area we have to initially leave 200-300 mm for cowl top.For placing the headlamp we have to leave at least 150 mm at the front while designing the fenderEmboss face created with flat surface and with hole of 5mm and we also provided darts for strengthing of the mount. And also provided 7degree draft and blended corners for easy machinability.

DESIGN OF SILL MOUNT AREA:

DESIGN OF BUMPER MOUNT AREA:

DESIGN OF A PILLAR MOUNT AREA:

DESIGN OF A BAFFEL MOUNT AREA:

COMPLETE FENDER DESIGN:

CONCLUSION:

The fender is designed wih necessary mounting as per design considerations.
