Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

FENDER WHEEL ARCH CALCULATION

• AIM:-

To calculate the wheel arch area for this design and check whether it ok & not ok for European standard .

• ABOUT WHEEL ARCH:-

IT is semicircular part of fender which is placed above the wheel. it covers the wheel of the vehicle to prevent rocks &other unwanted particles to be thrown or splashed at pedestrians & other vehicle. all other regions have their own standards to minimize accidents.

• THERE ARE THREE REGULATION:-

1. JAPAN REGULATION
2. EUROPEAN REGULATION
3. US REGULATION

INDIA IS USE EUROPEAN REGULATION

• EUROPEAN REGULATION :-

Messure CL L at section SA-SA SB-SB SC-SC SD-SD SE-SE and produce CL check chart to validate

at all five section the CL L value should be greater than 10mm to satisfy the european regulation. five section is - SA, SB, SC, SD & SE,

wheel guard reqmt. the value of A shall be more then 5mm at a line 30*forward and 50* rearward from the central vertical axis of wheel.

• CALCULATE THE GAP BETWEEN WHEEL AND WHEEL ARCH:-

1. Section SB Gap-10.00mm

2. section SA Gap-9.9490mm

3. section SC Gap- 0.113949mm

4. section SD Gap-2.8875mm

5. section SE gap-5.9973mm

• TABULAR ELABORATION:-

SECTION	EUROPEAN REQUIRED	ACTUAL	REMARKS
SB	10MM	10.00MM	OK
SA	10MM	9.9490MM	OK
SC	10MM	-0.1139MM	NOT OK
SD	10MM	-2.8875MM	NOT OK
SE	10MM	- 5.9975MM	NOT OK

• CONCLUSION:-

THIS DESIGN does not match european regulations so this design is not perfect for manufacturing,as it has three sections which not completely with the design
