Tire-Wheel Clamp, Medium-Sized Tire, Solidworks Simulation, Finite Element AnalysisAbstract
The purpose of this project is to improve the existing tire or wheel clamp design. The wheel clamp targets the comprehensive use in UTM to replace the heavy and inconvenient products. If this project is well received by its user, it may expand its use in many places in the future. This design is more lightweight and compact if compared to most existing product in market. The usage of three arms to lock the wheel or tire ensures its stability. CAD model of the design is developed using Solidworks software and the analysis is using Finite element analysis in Solidworks simulation. Stress, strain, displacement, and factor of safety analysis results from FEA analysis are studied and discussed with a focus on the critical location of the design. A full-size prototype cannot be done as during the execution of this project, Movement Control Order (MCO) by the government due to the spreading of the COVID-19 virus has taking place. A half scale model of the initial design is printed in 3D to check its functionality. Further
improvements of the design are showed through simulation and animation using Solidworks.
