Abstract-In this study, Turkish customer automobile usage was determined by a questionnaire in order to form the Turkish Mission profile for a LCV (light commercial vehicle). A comparison between Turkish customer usage and a of the European County's mission profile was done. Referencing sale percentage of this vehicle and the region of the failures come out on other model vehicles were produced before and also Turkey's geographic and climate condition, a new test road was formed for this kind of vehicle. İn order to determine Turkey's rods fatigue characteristics a road test executed. About 50 road routes and some rough road's fatigue characteristics were acquitted with a LCV (Light Commercial vehicle) equipped with sensors. Collected data were elaborated with a software program such as; spike analysis, frequency analysis, artihmethic manipulation etc.. After that the general load spectrum of Turkey's roads belong to the steering wheel tie rod is formed. Rain-flow statistical counting method was applied steering wheel tie rod's signals in order to make fatigue comparisons meaningfully and other application. Then Fatigue analysis of the steering wheel tie rod according to MP (Turkish mission profiles) were calculated by using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and verified by the Palsmgren-Miner rule.

“…Application of metal matrix composite enables safety increase and advances that leads to effective use of fuel and to obtain high engine power. Honda Company had already started the manufacturing of aluminium connecting rods reinforced with steel continuous fibers [5]. By carrying out these modifications to engine elements will result in effective reduction of weight, increase of durability of particular part, will lead to decrease of overall engine weight, improvement in its traction parameters, economy and ecological conditions such as reduction in fuel consumption and emission of harmful substances into atmosphere.…”

The tie rod ensures the safety of vehicle on both impact and vibration perspective also plays one of the major roles in connecting primary parts of automobile and steering mechanism. Its end is an indication system of vehicle alignment. The tie rod end maintains the proper adjustment access of the wheel as well as indirectly limits the inner and outer edge wear of tires. Hence the appropriate functioning of tie rod assembly system is essential for the automobile system (steering and suspension). Today's competitive world needs advanced technology with effective cost. This results in the mutation of conventional technology or method according to present requirements. Most of the automobile and commercial product manufacturing industries are in the obsession to make and launch the economical product with the limited time span. The engineers from various domains are deliberately designing unique products, which possess simple manufacturing process, lower cost of manufacturing and very minimum time consumption. The proposed design and analysis focus on general tie rod assembly functioning of the tractor which fails on the overload applications. Firstly, old tie rod design and materials used for effective agriculture applications were studied and the mutated design with various stresses and deformation characteristics under critical loading conditions are investigated using ANSYS software.

Öz Genel olarak av tüfeklerinde darbe şeklinde yüke maruz kalan parçalar hasara uğramaktadır. Bu tür parçalarda meydana gelen hasarlar doğru olmayan malzeme seçimi ve ısıl işlem parametrelerinin seçilmesi ile uygunsuz geometrinden kaynaklandığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de imalatı yapılan av tüfeklerinde bulunan ve kritik öneme sahip "kilit" parçasında meydana gelen kırılma hasarı ve bu hasarın önlenmesi ele alınmıştır. Bu amaçla hali hazırda tüfek imalatında kullanılan AISI 4140 ve AISI 4340 düşük alaşımlı çeliklerinin yanında düşük maliyetli AISI 1040 ve AISI 1050 çelikleri kilit parçası malzemesi olarak seçilmiştir. Seçilen bu malzemelere değişik ısıl işlem uygulanarak mekanik özelliklerde iyileştirme amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca mevcut geometri ANSYS paket programı ile analiz edilerek gerilme yığılma bölgeleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonunda en uygun malzemenin normalize; yağda sertleştirme ve 500C'de temperleme işlemi uygulanmış AISI 4340 düşük alaşımlı çelik olduğu belirlenmiştir. ANSYS analizleri incelendiğinde geometriden dolayı parçada gerilme yığılma bölgeleri olduğu ve bunu engellemek için tasarımda iyileştirmenin gerekliliği sonucuna varılmıştır.
