dc.description.abstractThe strength of the front axle of tractors used on rough terrain is crucial in countries in which agriculture is widespread. Rough agricultural fields, rugged village roads, and ground irregularities cause unexpected reaction forces on the axles. Thus, it is important to analyze the front axle of a tractor with respect to stress, which eventually leads to cracks and premature failure. In this study, ANSYS 13.0 finite element analysis (FEA) software (ANSYS, 2010) was used to predict the strength of a design under loading conditions. ANSYS 13.0 allows products to be tested in a virtual environment and helps to prevent problems that may arise later and accordingly improve them. This study aims to investigate the stresses that occur on the housing of the front axle of a tractor. The reaction forces acting on the front axle housing can cause cracks near the middle of the housing. The study applies a static load of 30 000 N to both hubs at the end of the front axle housing and uses the FEA method to predict and evaluate the maximum stress areas on the housing. Strain gauges are bonded to these locations to measure the real-life stresses on the axle housing in these areas. The results of the FEA and strain gauge measurements were compared, and a correlation was found with 98 % accuracy.en_US
