Hi,
I am about to start my last year in undergraduate as a mechanical engineering student with a focus on product design. I wish to go on and complete my masters at once in the aeronautical field. From all the different fields I could specialize in (controls, avionics etc) I have narrowed my...
Hi,
I would like to know what aluminum alloys are used in making steering knuckles? So far most of the studies I have found use Aluminum 2011 T3.
I would also like to know properties in general should the aluminum alloys have for such an application? From another thread I started, I know...
Hello,
I am trying to carry out FEM analysis on a steering knuckle. I have found some articles with typical braking and cornering loads to apply and they are all expressed in G-Force (here are two the articles I found...
Hi,
I have looked quite a bit for an answer to this but with little success. I am in the process of designing a custom steering knuckle and would like to know whether there is an optimimum angle from horizontal or vertical at which brake calipers should be mounted. Most of the moutings I have...
Hi,
I am working on designing a front-right steering knuckle for a racing car and would like to eventually carry out FEM analysis on my model to validate it. I would like to know what types of analysis I can carry out. I will be using ANSYS for the analysis. I was thinking of having different...
Hi,
I would like to confirm the tolerance limits for a ford fiesta bearing. I am new to this so please bear with me. The bearing has an outer diameter of 72 mm, inner diameter of 37 mm and a width of 37 mm. It is a ball bearing. From what I found (here...
Hi,
I am fairly new to this forum. I am working with Ansys workbench. I have meshed a model I imported with Inventor and I wish to know the nodal positions both before and after the simulation. I can get the positions for the latter but don´t know how to get the nodal positions before the...
