چکیده
India is one of the largest automotive industries in the world and one of the fastest growing globally. Now all automakers are concentrating on India for the promising growth in the sector. So competition in this industry is very high. Hence, there is a need to focus more on product development. The development of the product needs to be started from conceptual design with low cost, high performance and quality. There is a large scope for reducing the mass of aluminum wheel. In this paper the application of topology optimization to reduce the mass of aluminum wheel is discussed.
