Serial system design

[Joel]

Hello everyone,

I need some advice. Now I have to design a steering system (it is the first time I face such a problem) in particular I should dimensional the steering arm (I don't know if it's called this), i.e. the steering wheel that serves to rotate the wheel around the steering axle. I would like to know how I can begin, as a maximum project, that is for the sizing of the section of the track. I am beginning to do an analysis of the forces at stake, certainly it is a "static" analysis because I know that the forces (such as the self-aligned moment) vary with lateral acceleration. and if there are texts, even technical, which you can recommend to me in order to document me.

Thank you all.

type of vehicle?
study reason (construction, verification, repair, homologation)?

... the vehicle is a prototype, it is a 4-wheel steering vehicle with wheel motors with mcpherson suspensions for each wheel. the system is drive by wire, where a linear electric scooter is used for steering (in place of the typical steering or steering wheel). then the problem lies in the attack of these scooters with the attack on the wheel and the oscillating arm of the suspension. I have to design a support inside which the electric scooter will be inserted. I think, for how it has to work, that surely will be traction and compression, but surely it will not be a pure compression, so there will be a bending, in fact I thought to flexo-compression. I wanted to have information about the nature of the forces for a maximum project (the forces at stake, even quantitatively etc.). then, with the catia and solidworks software also with the help of multibody analytic programs in a more in-depth way and vedro to optimize everything.
I don't know if the information I've given is enough, however if someone tells me a book about the cinematic and dynamics of the steering or how to design the steering (on which principles it is based, then an accurate analysis of how to document me on how to do) would help me.

Thank you.
