Abstract
The conceptual design represents the concretization of project requirements defined based on market data. This paper will focus on the steering system, specifically the steering arm. The parameters of the steering arm are not known in the initial design phase of a heavy motor vehicle, so an attempt is made here to define the necessary dimensions based on the minimization of its lateral vibrations, while simultaneously minimizing the mass and maximizing the critical buck-ling force. For this purpose, a simplified geometric, physical, and mathematical model of the steering arm, as well as the stochastic parameter optimization method and 2D Fourier transform, were used.
