DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF STEERING BRACKET USING 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.
