Abstract:
In this paper, the existing lower control arm structural analysis and performance were
investigated and analyzed by the implementation of reversed engineering method used in
designing the three-dimensional model referring to the actual part. The initial design is
modeled by using SolidWorks 2016 software and validated by using modal analysis method
in Abaqus CAE. The natural frequencies can be compared with the load impact testing
experiment to the actual part physically to determine the percentage deviation. After the
model was validated, Abaqus CAE software used to analyze the structural strength-ability in a static condition. The result will be the main reference in creating the new design concept
of the ASHIMORI lower control arm as the Abaqus CAE will be used for the finite element
analysis process. The target safety factor of the all-new design must be lower than the actual concept which is defined between the different design and material. The main factor will be determined by using Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) method and the final design will be
compared with the actual part focusing on the maximum stress value, performance and
structural analysis in a static state. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to
