MODELING, SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION ANALYSIS OF STEERING KNUCKLE COMPONENT FOR RACE CAR
Light weight and low fuel consumption are the two main demands for a vehicle, particularly for a race car. Steering knuckle, as one of the critical components of a race car, is the main subject in the present study. A light weight and optimized design of steering knuckle is proposed to be used for an EIMARace race car; a small high-performance formula-style car, with suitable material selection as well as valid finite element analysis and optimization studies. First part of this study involves modeling of steering knuckles and analysis of the stresses and displacement under actual load conditions. A CAD and FEA software; SolidWorks, is applied for modeling as well as for static analysis studies. Shape optimization is the second part of this study, utilizing solid Thinking software from Altair Engineering packages. The improved design obtained had achieved 45.8% reduction of mass while meeting the strength requirement.
Simulation and Optimization of wheel Hub and Upright of Vehicle: A Review
This paper deals with various methodologies adopted by present researcher for analysis of wheel hub and upright assembly with main objective of analysis and optimization of the vehicle. This review will assist researchers working in the field of development of the structural design and mass reduction of vehicle through optimization methods conducted by FEA software viz. Cre0 1.0 and HyperWorks. The review includes key areas of researches as shape optimization, static load analysis and fatigue load analysis using FEA. This literature progressively discusses about the research methodology, softwares and the outcomes of the discussed researches and is intended to give the readers a brief variety of the researches carried out on the wheel hub and upright assembly.
Metabolism of individual fatty acids by sheep depot adipose tissue in vivo and in vitro.
1. 
1. Sheep adipose tissue and plasma have high stearate and low unsaturated fatty acid content compared to rat, dog and man. 
 
2. 
2. In control animals in vivo uptake as well as release of various fatty acids by adipose tissue could be demonstrated. In vitro net release occurred. Fasting resulted in a decrease in tissue stearate and increased release of fatty acids. Adrenaline and noradrenaline had minimal lipolytic effect in vivo and in vitro. 
 
3. 
3. Variations in the turnover rate of individual fatty acids were observed.
