Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

AIM : To calculate wheel arc radius for the given model and check whether it passes the European standard or not.


ABOUT WHEEL ARC : Wheel Arch is an arch shaped cavity in the fender bod, which houses a wheel. The main intention 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

It is a semicircular profile above wheels designed for enclosing tire within the fender. The wheel arch is designed considering all possible motions the tire undergoes while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel arch also ensures stopping any debris that could possibly fly outside the wheel well and hit pedestrians.
