reduce mass of wheel, design optimization is necessary. In this research the design of locomotive
wheel is optimized considering hub radius and hub width as input parameters to DOE (Design
of Experiments). Initially finite element analysis is performed under static structural loading
conditions to determine equivalent stress and safety factor which is followed by design
optimization using Response Surface Methodology. The software used for design and analysis
is ANSYS.
