The main aim of this research is to determine the best material for manufacturing of steering knuckle in order to reduce the weight using aluminum alloy and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). To achieve this purpose, the Modal test has been performed to study vibrational behavior of steering knuckle. CAD Model has been prepared by using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Finally, the Finite Element...

The automobile's knuckle is connected to the parts of the steering system and the suspension system and it is used for adjusting the direction of a rotation through its attachment to the wheel. This study changes the existing material made of GCD45 to Al6082M and recommends the lightweight design of the knuckle as the optimal design technique to be installed in small cars. Six shape design vari...

The paper describes the calculation of input parameters for static strength analysis or generative design steering knuckle a Formula Student race car. initial data were: overall and mounting dimensions rim tire, hub brake disk, magnitude force acting on contact patch wheel with road, sliding friction between disk pads, tie rod attachment, location coordinates ball joint mounts caliper. During c...

This article presents the static performance of composite steering knuckle due to drive on an equivalent road, including different types roughness and maneuvers. To achieve this purpose, driving a full-vehicle model was simulated using multi-body dynamics (MBD) method, imposed loads connection points components suspension system were extracted considering various Next, CATIA software used prepa...
