A Steering Bracket A Design and Analysis Project Utilising the ANSYS Workbench

Abstract

The steering knuckle is where the front wheel's suspension, hub, steering system, and braking system all attach to the vehicle's chassis. 
Using the steering mechanism, the Steering Knuckle directs movement in the desired directions. Numerous stresses and strains are applied 
to it. A lighter steering knuckle is essential for vehicles because it increases power and decreases vibration by reducing inertia. We examine 
the steering knuckle in detail and report on its structural strength, thermal efficiency, fatigue resistance, and modal features. An FEA 
study of a steering bracket must include the usage of Structural Steel, C35 Alloy Steel, and 30C8 Alloy Steel. Mechanical testing under 
load may be used to measure deformation, stress, strain, safety factor, temperature, modal deformations, and other material properties. 
Computer aided engineering (CAE) is used to create the steering knuckle. After a Catia model of the steering knuckle is created takinginto 
account constraints and loads, it is analysed in Ansys Workbench.
