Abstract
This thesis aims to highlight the design, modelling and explore the theories and techniques behind procedures of developing a rack and pinion steering system for student formula vehicle. This newly designed mechanism will be used in 2017 SAE SUPRA EVENT. Various systems were studied and a simple but very effective rack and pinion steering system was designed with the consideration of the driver. A steering mechanism is a mechanism that helps a vehicle to give direction, the normal standard steering systems available in the market are if ratio 16:1 which means for complete turn of vehicle the steering wheel must be rotated 4 times, a power steering overcomes the problem of rotation and does the full turn in 2 revolutions of steering wheel. As per the guidelines of the SAE SUPRA event power steering was not allowed, hence a need arise to manufacture a steering system that could take a full turn in half rotation of steering wheel, this was accomplished by using a rack and pinion steering system with low steering ratio. The mechanism is designed with a view to keep the steering ratio low as possible so the various tentative events like auto cross can be easily be faced. The mechanism has been designed, analysed, manufactured, tested and installed successfully.
