DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF STEERING SYSTEM DRAG LINK AGAINST BUCKLING LOADS FOR TIPPER APPLICATION

For tipper application,motion from steering wheel transferred to stub axle via steering column,steer ing gear box,pitman arm,drag link & steering arm to stub a xle. Drag links are mainly subjected to compressive loads,which causes buckling failure of drag link tubes. This p aper describes calculation of buckling strength for drag link. Also analysis of drag link tubes against compressive loa ds shown. Relations of various design parameters wi th buckling strength are shown,which will be useful for optimi zation of design parameters.
