Abstract

Light weight, low fuel consumption and high durability are the primary demands for any vehicle. The steering knuckle is one of the most critical component of an off-road vehicle. The study involves designing of steering knuckle of an off-road vehicle, using Solidworks, and performing its shape optimization, using ANSYS Workbench, in order to meet the required strength parameters at the cost of minimum weight. The Study has been successful in designing the steering knuckle satisfying the required parameters and achieving a weight reduction of 42.8% in comparison with its initial model.
