Abstract

A beam axle is used as a central shaft in which the wheel will rotate. In addition to supporting the front part of the vehicle, the axle enables steering and absorbs shock from road irregularities. It is crucial to analyze the front axle which can operate at several load conditions as the failure will lead to a serious problem. The paper focuses on the analysis of the front axle of the truck at different loading conditions due to the variation of the road surface. The study is carried out by considering vertical loads produced at the front due to the weight of the vehicle and load transfer as the vehicle travels on different road conditions. The assembly of the kingpin stub axle supports the weight of the vehicle, by linking with other linkages. The research approach followed in this research work is divided into two stages. First, the analytic calculation of the load on the axle at different driving conditions (uphill downhill and level road) was carried out. For this vehicle specification, its gross weight dimensions and maximum acceleration have been considered. Then, the front axle was modeled in CAD software and imported into ANSYS software to determine the stress and deformation of the beam.
