title = "Shape optimization of a small bus steering knuckle considering a fatigue load",
abstract = "Finite element analysis was accomplished for a steering knuckle component of a small bus to see whether the static and fatigue strength requirements were satisfied or not. The knuckle was modeled with ANSYS 10-node quadratic elements. The cyclic fatigue load was applied and Soderberg criteria were applied to check the fatigue life. The knuckle structure has an infinite life (10-6 cycle) judging from the fatigue analyses. Shape optimization based on the gradient based method has been performed in order to find out the knuckle shape that has a minimum weight and satisfies the static and fatigue strength requirements. As a result of shape optimization, the weight of the steering knuckle was reduced 8%.",
