초록

유한요소해석을 수행하여 조향장치용 타이로드 볼 조인트의 주름 형상 더스트 커버의 응력과 변형을 평가하였다. 조립상태 및 작동상태 하에서 기존 설계안의 더스트 커버를 해석한 결과, 밀봉성이 우수하고 최대응력은 인장강도보다 낮게 나타났다. 더스트 커버의 최대응력을 저감시키기 위하여 형상설계변수를 선정하고, 다구찌 기법을 사용하여 최적형상을 구하였다. 도출된 최적설계안의 작동상태에서의 최대응력은 초기설계안 대비 22 % 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시된 방법을 사용하면 더스트 커버의 평가 및 설계를 효율적으로 할 수 있다.

Finite element analysis is performed to evaluate stress and deformation of a wrinkle-type dust cover for the ball joints of tie rods of automotive steering system. Results of the analysis for assembly and operation condition show that sealing capability is good and the maximum stress on the body is smaller than the tensile strength. An optimal shape of the dust cover is obtained using the Taguchi method to reduce the maximum stress. The maximum stress of the optimal design under the operation condition is reduced by 22 per cent of that of the initial design. Results of the research show that performance evaluation and design of the dust covers can be effectively done using the proposed method.
