Static Analysis of Hybrid Composite Leaf Spring
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
[b]Leaf spring is a simple form of suspension spring used to absorb vibrations induced during the motion of a vehicle. The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel leaf spring (65Si7) with hybrid composite leaf spring with Jute/E-glass/Epoxy due to high strength to weight ratio, higher stiffness, high impact energy absorption and lesser stresses. This research is aimed to investigate the suitability of natural and synthetic fiber reinforced hybrid composite material in automobile leaf spring application. By using natural fibers efforts have been made to reduce the cost and weight of leaf spring. A hybrid composite leaf spring with Jute/Eglass/Epoxy composite materials is modeled and subjected to the same load as that of a steel spring. The hybrid composite leaf spring has been modeled by their consideration. Static structural analysis of a leaf spring has been performed using ANSYS 14. Compared to steel leaf spring the laminated hybrid composite leaf spring weight reduction is achieved. [/b]
