In the design of automobile, the industry is exploringpolymericmaterial in order to obtain reduction of weight withoutsignificantdecrease in vehicle quality and reliability. Fuel consumption of the vehicle is directly proportional to the weight of the wheel rim. Thusin this project a standard wheel of four wheeler ischosenand analyzed by applying loads and using different materials .AluminumAlloy,Magnesium Alloy, PEEK,PEEK with 20% Glassfiber, PEEK with 30% GlassFiber are the materials chosen.The whole design is made by using SOLIDWORKS as per original equipment manufacturer(OEM?S)requirement. Analysis has been carried out using ANSYS todetermine deformation and fatigue life of the wheel. The whole nalysisisdonebymeansofsoftwarethereforeresultandobservationsaretrustworthy and met ourexpectation.
