Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

AIM

To calculate the wheel Arc area of fender and prove whether the car will pass the standards or Not by using the European standard.

FENDER

Fender is the part of an automobile body that frames a wheelwell. Its primary purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road sprey from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire. Fenders are typically rigid and can be damaged by contact with the road surface.

WHEEL ARCH

The wheel arch is the semi-circular part positioned above the wheel of a vehicle. The most important body change was that the front wheel arch was cut higher into the fender. The car has big, high-definition headlights that extend to the wheel arch.

CALCULATIONS

The measurement of SA= 9.9489mm

The measurement of SB= 10.0000mm

The measurement of SC= 0.113949mm

The measurement of SD= 2.8875mm

The measurement of SE= 5.09973mm

OBSEERVATION TABLE

Sections	Clearance Measurement (mm)	Test Result
SA	9.9489mm	Fail
SB	10.0000mm	Pass
SC	0.113949mm	Fail
SD	-2.8875mm	Fail
SE	-5.09973	Fail

CONCLUTION

The given fender is Fail the European Regulation for Wheel Arch Area. Because of clearance value is varies between the section to section. Due to the Tire is Go outside direction. So, it is danger for pedestrian safety as well as aesthetic look of the car also bad.
