Structural Performance Test of Optimized Outer Tie Rod

  • 발행 : 2012.10.31

초록

The outer tie rod that is a part of steering system connects the steering gear to the steering knuckle via the inner tie rod. The formal study suggested the optimized structural design of an outer tie rod installed in a passenger car. Its weight is 284.7g, which is 57.2% lighter weight than initial steel model. This study validates the optimized design of the outer tie rod considering buckling and durability. The assembled unit of an inner tie rod and outer tie rod is utilized to perform the test of the bending strength of the outer tie rod. On the contrary, 1/2 car is utilized to perform the test of its durability performance.
