Optimization & FEA of Inner Tie Rod for Light Motor Vehicles (LMV)

Abstract

The ratio of Tie Rod length to the radius of gyration of its cross section is normally quite large, it would likely buckle under the action of compressive forces. If it becomes worn out, steering will be producing clunking noise and also the vehicle will typically be pulling or (dragging) to either side (left or right) which will cause the accident. Which is not safe for passenger life seating in the car. The aim of the project is to analyze tie rod for the active improvement in the mass and buckling load of tie rod. This paper has the intention to evaluate buckling strength and compare buckling performance of Tie rod for different dimensions, theoretically calculate the critical buckling load of Tie rod with different diameter of it and keeping the same material and length. We have been compared & validated the theoretical results with the experimental test results obtained by the natural frequencies on FFT analyzer.
