In this advanced technological era, lightweight design for fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness is essential for both conventional and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), without sacrificing the durability which is an important design factor for vehicle safety. The scope of this project is to describe design methodologies for the vehicle differential case applied to achieve light weight and to ensure product life. Three-dimensional CAD model of 4-wheeler differential case is designed using CATIA V5R20. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software ANSYS Version 19.0 is used to determine the total deformation and equivalent stresses, strain in 4-wheeler differential case for weight optimization of 4-wheeler differential case topology optimization module will use. Experimental investigation will be done by strain gauge technique and UTM. Comparative analysis of FEA and Experimental will be done for validation of work. Conclusion and future scope will be suggested.
