Abstract

Generally, the steering knuckle works as a support in car which holds the tires besides ensuring a good handling, comfort and safety driving experience. Due to the problem occur on steering knuckle where design is not really reliable beside excessive material used on certain places where force in not present. An investigation and analysis is done by having the 3D CAD drawing and simulation using SolidWorks in order to determine the fatigue life behavior under various loading conditions. Forces that acted on the steering knuckle can either comes from the car or the road. The forces is not static and differ with time varying. SolidWorks is used to simulate as it has the ability to measure the fatigue life of a component by having a simulation based design. This helps to obtain all the data needed example like the life cycle, the reliability of the product, the identification of which the minimum stress is present and also the critical in steering knuckle where force is exerted in a huge amount. Perodua Myvi steering knuckle is choose in this project as it can help increase the handling and safety in that car. The results can be used in the future for further study.
