In the course of the study a wheel was chosen and itsdimensions that are generally used in the traditional design applications whichapplied by engineering experience were determined as design parameters. Designof Computational Experiments was used in ANSYS Workbench and optimum design wasdetermined by Response Surface Method. As a result the most effectiveparameters on wheel weight and deformation were determined, the mechanicalbehavior of the wheel was improved and a lighter wheel was obtained. Byimprovements on wheel geometry, fatigue behavior was improved. CR - Das S. "Design and weight optimization of aluminium alloy wheel".
