Abstract

Flat tire during driving can be consider as an emergency situation. This is because tire acted as a moving and also movement-controller agent for vehicles. This flat tire also can cause an accident and sometimes it even involves death. In this research, experiments are conducted on aluminum and stainless steel. The main objectives of this research are (i) to run a mechanical test onto several types of materials, (ii) to run a simulation test using CATIA V5, (iii) and to recommend the best material selection for future tire wrench. Under mechanical test, it consists of torsion test, hardness index number test and impact test. These test are conducted onto both materials due to analyze and studies its behavior and also characteristic when mechanically tested as its represents in real use. As for torsion test, hardness index number, and impact test, all results obtained revealed that stainless steel are better than aluminum in this comparison. Strength analysis also are performed using CATIA V5. Inside this simulation, amount of strain energy are obtained where aluminum has a value of 4.129 J, while stainless steel has 1.492 J. This thus indicated that aluminum are better at distributional stresses compared to stainless steel. And as final decision, stainless steel are the recommended material for this project due to advantages its offered from this research.
