Popis: The wheel hub is a vital element of a vehicle that attaches the wheel to the motor shaft. Its main function is to keep the wheel running freely on the bearing while keeping it attached to the vehicle. It experiences a lot of shearing and bending forces when the vehicle in motion. The focus of this paper was to reduce the load on the components due to these forces on the wheel hub by optimizing its design and topology. A solid model was created in accordance with the optimized design and FEA was performed to determine its strength.
