Design, Analysis and Fabrication of Mono Leaf Spring using S-Glass Composite
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Leaf spring is a device used in automotive vehicles to carry unexpected impact loads. These leaf springs are generally made of steels i.e. Mild steel, cast steel etc. Mono leaf springs are generally preferred for vehicles with low load carrying strength and Light weight vehicles. The advance Mono leaf springs are manufactured using GFRP which are light in weigh and have low load carrying capacity as compared to Glass Composites i.e. E Glass, S Glass, Carbon Fiber etc. In this project work, Objective is to design a Mono Leaf spring Using Advance S-Glass Series composite Materials which will results into absorbing high Impact shocks. In this project work, Mono Leaf spring of Mahindra Model of Commander 650 Di is considered for design and Analysis. Concept of Reverse engineering is used to measure all the design parameters of the mono leaf spring. Theoretical Designing is done using standard Mono Leaf Spring Design process and 3D modelling is done using Solid works 2015 software. Finite Element Analysis software ANSYS Workbench 18.0 is used to study the static and dynamic Behavior of the spring under standard working conditions. ACP Analysis is done for Composite leaf spring to find Load Carrying capacity. S-Glass Composite series is used to manufacture mono leaf spring and Tested experimentally for actual load Capacity using Experiment Setup. The finite Element Analysis will show that Mono Leaf Spring Made of S-glass Composite will perform better as compared E Glass Composites and All the convectional Metals series Materials in terms of load capacity, Life, Performance, Impact Strength, Flexibility, Cost, Wear and Corrosion.
