Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

Calculate the Wheel Arch gap at required points and check whether the car passes the European standard.

Wheel Arc Verification Using European Standards:

                     Wheel Arc is the part of the fender and semicircular part positioned above the wheel. It protects the wheel from unwanted particles and entering of those particles into the engine compartment and even provides safety for pedestrians. Requirements have been proposed by vehicle and road safety community to the minimum requirement of wheel arc distance

from the wheel for safety.

Rules –

        Measure of CL L is done on sections SA, SB , SC, SD, SE.

        At all sections the value of CL L should be greater than 10mm.

Wheel guard requirement : The value of a shall be more that 5 mm at 300 forward and 500 rearward from the central axis of wheel.

                                                  

Conclusion:

                From the above results,  we can conclude that the given fender does not pass the European standards for wheel arch area.
