The document describes the design and development of an Ackerman steering system for a Formula Student race car. Key aspects include: 1. The system uses a rack and pinion steering mechanism to convert rotational motion from the steering wheel into linear motion to turn the wheels. 2. Design specifications like turning radius, inner/outer wheel angles, and steering ratio were determined based on vehicle requirements and Ackerman steering geometry. 3. Detailed calculations were performed to design components like the steering arm, tie rods, steering column, and select bearings. 4. CAD modeling and FEA analysis were conducted to validate component designs and analyze stresses. 5. The steering system was tested using constant
