Inappropriate design of steering mechanism will reduce the life of tires, increase steering difficulty and the risk of skidding. In this paper, the simulation and optimization of the steering mechanism of a 220t mining dump truck is analyzed. Firstly the motion of the steering mechanism is analyzed with kinematics and dynamics simulation with ADAMS. Objective functions for the steering mechanism are established and optimized with MATLAB. Then the stress and strain of the tie rod is analyzed to check if it meets the requirements. Moreover, the knuckle arm is optimized based on the theory of topology optimization.
