Abstract
Abstract: A car’s steering wheel is used to connect the steering gear which is connect to the wheels via the tie rod ends. The main use of the tie rod end is to ensure the wheels are aligned. Hence the functioning of tie rod is crucial for steering as well as suspension performance of vehicle. Today’s world is competitive with respective to efficiency as well as economical in price, every organization striving for cost effective product at a lower price and within minimum period for ‘time to market. In this work, an attempt is made on optimization of the tier rod through changing materials and to reducing the weight. FEA analysis is performed on solid section and hollow sections with different thicknesses. The stress results at critical locations for different design iterations are discussed in this work. From the FEA results it is observed that the effected wright for hollow section is reduced by 18.15 % compare to solid section. Keywords: Tie rod, ANSYS, CATIA, Stress, optimization
