Abstract: The lightweight design is considered to be of great significance for carbon reduction. Therefore, a lightweight design of a special axle hub is proposed based on ANSYS considering different working conditions. The structure of a special axle hub is identified. The ANSYS Workbench is used to mesh the hub and import the mechanical and physical parameters. Considering full load, emergency turning and braking, and the treatment of constraints and loads, the stress concentration position is obtained, and the lightweight design is carried out. The free vibration analysis and fatigue life prediction of the hub after lightweight design are verified. After the lightweight design, the optimized hub mass is reduced by 7.52%, and its structural stability and strength meet the demands of various working conditions. The application of a lightweight hub reduces CO2 emissions by 49875 kg during the life cycle of the vehicle. This study provides theoretical and methodological support for lightweight design of mechanical parts for low carbon.
