Abstract:

 Outer tie rod and inner tie rod are important parts of the steering system, that are exposed to dynamic and static loads as well as bearing loads due to their function. Outer tie rod shaft is the area that provides freedom to the designers in the design process. In this study, outer tie rod shaft design is made with topology optimization. It is aimed to reach optimum outer tie rod design with specific loads in the limited design space. Outer tie rod design is created as 3D. After the 3D model phase, finite element analysis is performed to evaluate buckling and fatigue behavior of the tie rod. Finite element analysis results are evaluated, and optimum outer tie rod design is determined.

 Rot başı ve rot kolu direksiyon sisteminin en önemli parçalarıdır. Araç içerisinde işlevleri gereği dinamik ve statik yüklerle birlikte yatak yükleriyle karşılaşmaktadır. Rot başı gövdesi, bu süreçte tasarımcılar için bir özgürlük alanıdır. Bu çalışmada, rot başı tasarım paketleri için topoloji optimizasyonu uygulanarak kısıtlı tasarım alanı, belirlenen yükler ve sınır koşullarında optimum rot başı tasarımı gerçekleştirmek hedeflenmiştir. Optimizasyon çalışmaları referans alınarak öncelikle rot başının üç boyutlu modelleme çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiş, burkulma ve yorulma performanslarını değerlendirebilmek amacıyla sonlu elemanlar yöntemi ile analizler yapılmış ve son olarak da analiz sonuçlarından elde edilen veriler birbirleriyle kıyaslanarak optimum rot başı tasarımına karar verilmiştir.
