Abstract : This paper describes the design and optimisation of rear wheel assembly for an all-terrain vehicle. The components of
rear wheel assembly are designed with an optimised design intent with light weight material selection. The designed
assembly is then discretised using finite element modelling through Hexa-dominant 3D mesh. The upright knuckle and
the hub are assessed for their integrity check and the performance of full assembly is verified through simulation. From
the post-processed stress results, factor of safety for the designed parts is presented. The presented work can be
expanded to optimise the upright and the hub based the resolved gradient stress plots from the finite element analysis.
