碩士 === 修平科技大學 === 精密機械與製造科技研究所 === 99 === Structural Analysis of the Ball-Joints for the Car Steering System. ball-joint is one of the parts for the automotive steering system, main function is to assist the steering. the ball-joint might fall off or break apart when the car is moving, at low speed it will cause slippage and wear and at high speed it will cause operation difficulty in the car and even the possibility of losing control. this paper analyzed the structural strength of ball-joint using ANSYS. first of all, the 3D model of ball-joints was established by using solid works. the ANSYS software was used to amoled the strength of the structures, the upper limit of tension and safety factor of ball-joints com be determined in this study. verify the correctness of finite element analysis, simulation results and compare data provided by manufacturers, finally, the structural strength of the ball-joint design Best Design. thesis can reduce the cost of the experiment, can also provide the same series of ball joint design parameters.
