A steering knuckle is one of the most important parts of a vehicle suspension system. This is the major component acts as a connection point between the wheel hub and the suspension system. The forces coming from the tires are transferred to this knuckle system hence subjecting it to high varying loads. So the design of a knuckle becomes very critical in terms of its life with high factor of safety. At the same time, the design also should be robust with the required life, right material selection and weight optimization, without affecting the desired performance. There have been considerable efforts placed in this direction to reduce the overall weight of the knuckle system by employing high strength alloys instead of conventional materials or optimizing the geometry without altering the desired functionality and its life. This project focuses on weight optimization by using Finite Element Analysis approach. This is done by studying and comparing the results of a rigid baseline model with that of a optimized model. The optimized model is arrived based on the stresses obtained from the baseline study, hence arriving the zones for weight reduction. The Analysis will be carried out using Ansys Workbench. Modeling will be carried out using Solidworks
