Minimization of Wheel Mass Using Finite Element Method

Report on an analysis I performed of a wheel geometry used on various flying coasters. 

The report considers various potential modifications to existing wheel geometry to 

minimize weight while maintaining a reasonable factor of safety. Various adaptive 

meshing methods were utilized to ensure accuracy of results obtained.
