        abstract = {This study focuses on verification of strength of design for alloy wheels with two different materials viz. magnesium alloy AZ80 and aluminium alloy 7075 T6 considering static loading conditions. An alloy wheel of 15-inch diameter is considered based on the standard alloy wheel used in hatchback cars by the different auto manufacturers. The static structural analysis considering the true yield stress values of the alloy wheel materials are performed using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The ability of FEM to model subtle changes in geometry allows to optimize size, shape, or form to obtain minimum weight or maximum performance. Yielding of material is considered as failure of the alloy wheel material. As per the yield criterion concluded that that the magnitude of maximum von Mises stress should not exceed 570 MPa and 275 MPa for aluminium and magnesium alloys respectively under the maximum static radial load of 9000N including the weight of vehicle, passengers and inflated air pressure. The analysis pin points the edge portion of the alloy wheels needs to be strengthened as it invariably shows more resultant displacement. The advantage of this study is that it verifies the strength of design of alloy wheels and suggests future study considering the coupled effect of static vehicle weight, cornering, braking, acceleration, and the tire inflation pressure on the alloy wheel for an improved geometric configuration for alloy wheels.},
