Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

Aim: To decide whether the given design passes the European standards or not.

GIVEN DESIGN

ACCORDING TO EUROPIAN RULE

1.Take the outline of the wheel and the fender.
2.Make the centre of the wheel circle.
3.Draw horizontal and vertical perpendicular axes from the centre of the wheel circle.
4.Draw lines at 30 degrees and 50 degrees from the centre.
5.Make a point on the fender line at 150mm from the horizontal.
6.Extend a line to this point from the centre.
7.Then make a line that is exactly between the 50-degree line and the line made on the 150mm point.Measure the distances between the points on the wheel circle and fender curve. All of these should be greater than 10mm tosatisfy the European regs.
Secondly, the horizontal distances from SA, SB, and SC points to the fender curve should be at least 5mm.

Check whether the design passes these conditions and conclude whether it can pass the
European Regulations Requirement

Now let us measure the distances between the points at the 5 sections.

SA AN SB SECTION

SC , SD AND SE SECTIONS

TABLE

	DISTANCE	RESULT
SA	25.992MM>10MM	PASS
SB	43.641MM>10MM	PASS
SC	38.36MM>10MM	PASS
SD	42.658MM>10MM	PASS
SE	47.625MM>10MM	PASS

Now to find the horizontal distance between the wheel and the fender. This distance should be at least 5mm from SA point, SB point,and SC point.
Project the made sketch onto the plane of the wheel.

TO FIND THE LENGTH BETWEEN THE SECRION

TABLE

	DISTANCE	RESULT
SA	10MM>5MM	PASS
SB	10.051MM>5MM	PASS
SC	20.064MM>5MM	PASS
SD	22.814MM>5MM	PASS
SE	25.901MM>5MM	PASS

Conclusion:
The given design satisfies all European standards.
