Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

Fender Design- Wheel Arch:

Introduction:

• The wheel arc is an arch shaped cavity in the body of the vehicle which houses the wheel.
• It has the very to important function it serves the main work as to prevent the pedestrians and other cars because the wheel is satiated in the body of the car.
• The second function is to prevent the inside of the car from mud, water, dust.
• While smooth loose objects like stones can stuck temporarily embedded in the ribs of the tire and when the tires comes into motion then the wheel goes upward And it moves forwards the stones which are stuck in to ribs are getting loose from the ribs of the tire this may hit the pedestrian or the cars which are near.

There are different types of the wheel arc regulation to every region in that we are going to take example from three like

• Japan Regulations
• Europe Regulations
• U.S Regulations

Japan Wheel Arc Regulations:

• Measure the clearance of the “L” and measure in the two different position showed as (AREA K) produce clearance check chart to validate.
• The clearance must be greater than 5mm in between the area that is marked as “K”
• The wheel arc requirement the value should be more than 5mm at a line 30” forward and 50”rearward from the centeral vertical axis which is marked as “A”

Europe Wheel Arc Requirements:

• It is same measuring technique that as used in Japan wheel arc regulation except it needs to be measured in 5 different areas (SB,SA,SC,SD,SE)
• And the gap between the “L” should be 10mm at all the points to meet with the European regulation

U.S Wheel Arc Requirements:

• Even the US regulation used the same as the other two regulation but in US the measuring point is increased
• All the values should be greater than 5mm in order to meet the US REGULATION

The Given Prt File:

Calculating Wheel Arc Using Europen Req:

Section	Distance/Clearance ‘L’ mm (Euro Req is Minimum 10mm Of Clearance)	Result
SB	10mm	Pass
SA	9.9489mm	Fail
SC	0.1136mm	Fail
SD	-2.9021	Fail
SE	-5.9751	Fail

Conclution For Euro Req:

I have study from the above results, I have conclusion that the fender does not pass the European Regulations, as the Minimum Clearence value of 'L' between the fender wheel arch and wheel for vehicle and Safety is 10 mm and this design does't meet the requirement.

Calculating The Wheel Arc Using U.S requirements:

Section (In Degree)	Distance/Clearance ‘L’ mm (US Req is Minimum 10mm Of Clearance)	Result
180	Nil	Nil
170	Nil	Nil
160	Nil	Nil
150	5.779mm	Pass
140	9.1700	Pass
130	10.0	Pass
120	10.0	Pass
110	10.0	Pass
100	10.0	Pass
90	9.948	Pass
80	9.390	Pass
70	8.1624	Pass
60	6.197	Pass
50	3.444	Fail
40	0.1136	fail
30	-4.464	Fail
20	-9.573	Fail
10	-15.41	Fail
0	-21.97	fail
-10	-29.924	Fail
-20	-37.167	Fail

Conclution For U.S Req:

I have study from the above results, I have conclusion that the fender does not pass the U.S Regulations, as the Minimum Clearence value of 'L' between the fender wheel arch and wheel for vehicle and Safety is 5 mm and this design does't meet the requirement.

Calculating The Wheel Arc Using Japan requirements:

Section	Distance/Clearance ‘L’ mm (Japan Req is Minimum 5mm Of Clearance)	Result
A	9.9489	Pass
B	10	Pass
C	0.1136	Fail

Conclution For Japan Req:

I have study from the above results, I have conclusion that the fender does not pass the Japan Regulations, as the Minimum Clearence value of 'L' between the fender wheel arch and wheel for vehicle and Safety is 5 mm and this design does't meet the requirement.

Final Conclution:

The Given Fender Design Does't Meet US , European And Japan Requirements.
