| Popis: | Now a day’s increases in vehicle demand at a lower rate are necessity of vehicle manufacture. Expectation in terms of durability, efficiency and cost is raising exponentially by customers. Over designed components in vehicle leads to increase weight and reduced efficiency. Pitman arm used to steer vehicle can be redesigned and modified for achieving less weight and thus cost. Existing pitman arm component available in market will be reverse engineered and CAD modeled using CATIAV5software.Finiteelement Discretization & Analysis will be carried out using Ansys package. FEA will help in finding out high strain locations in component and also defining area which can be modified. Strain gauging will be done on areas of high strain location indicated by FEA software. Fixture will be designed for mounting component on UTM. Machining will be done to remove excess material from component. Comparative analysis will be done between experimental and FEA results. Conclusion and future scope will be suggested. |
