Abstract |
|
The tie rods are mandatory components of vehicles steering system. According to its name a Tie rod ties vehicles steering rack to the steering arm. A failure may occur due to varying forces and undulation of vehicle during steering in tie rod. The forces on the steering are also considered during the static condition of car. The vibration and buckling of the tie rod may lead to structural failure if the resulting vibration and stresses are undesirable and excessive, So the research work is aimed to assess the vibration, buckling strength of the existing tie. The FE models of the tie rod also analyzed to get the stiffness and stress distributions in each component. |
