ANALYSIS OF FOUR WHEELER FRONT AUTOMOTIVE AXLE THROUGH FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

In this study, front dead axle of a vehicle has been examined. The axle analysis in the paper is done with help of ANSYS software. The scope of the paper is to find out whether the axle is capable to work under given loads. Then static strength and dynamic characteristics of rear axle are analyzed in five typical load cases. The results show whether there is any scope for optimization of the axle in order to decrease the weight so as to increase the average of the vehicle keeping the system intact and risk free. Using ANSYS software can avoid expensive and time-consuming development loops, so the design period is shortened.
