Design & Analysis of the Steering System for All-Terrain Vehicle

Abstract

This paper embodies the design methodology for
the steering system for an All-Terrain Vehicle.
The steering system has the primary function of
maneuvering the vehicle in the desired direction.
The research paper gives an essential procedure
to design the system for effective functionality.
Also, the steering system was tested under
different geographical terrains. The different
software such as were used to ensure precise
dimensions & accurate results. The vehicle with
the above-mentioned system was made to
participate in SAE BAJA INDIA 2019. The
actual results validated by comparing with
theoretical values obtained. The design
procedure started with steering angle
calculations. The Rack & pinion gears were
designed. Theoretical values were validated with
the help of ‘Lotus Shark’ software. The designed
system was modeled using CAD software.
Structural analysis was done to check whether
the designed components will sustain critical
loads. All obtained results were enlisted in this
paper
