Dynamic Impact Analysis on ATV Upright

Uprights play a vital role carrying the complete wheel assembly with it and attached to vehicle suspension system. The knuckle has to design in order to sustain all the loads acting on the vehicle during the course of dynamic motion. The loads taken up by tire's are directly transferred to the uprights, because tire with upright forms a single assembly unit, but near the upright hard point the suspension forms a linkage, which even takes sprung mass loads. Therefore the knuckle in commercial vehicle is manufactured using EN graded material or the cast iron, but the same can be designed and manufactured using aluminium material which can offer same strength characteristics but with decreased in overall sprung mass weight.
