Numerical Investigation Of Parabolic Leaf Spring For Composite Materials Using Ansys
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation is to reduce the stress acting in the parabolic leaf spring in order to reduce the vibration of the vehicle. It can be achieved by choosing suitable composite materials e-glass/epoxy, carbon/epoxy, Kevlar/epoxy. Identification and solution provided through the various literatures, now the objective of the research work is to replace the existing conventional steel EN45 material through the composite material to reduce the weight and increase the strength. The solid modelling of leaf spring was done on CATIA and analysis using ANSYS software. Finally, standing from the static analysis result the study conclude that the newly designed carbon/epoxy mono composite leaf spring has better performance than that of the current conventional steel leaf spring of TATA 207. The aim of replacing leaf spring with carbon/epoxy composite is to obtain a leaf spring which is light weight and capable of carrying given static load by constraints limiting stresses and displacements. Moreover, the weight of the laminated carbon/epoxy composite mono leaf spring is reduced about 76.85%; this intern reduces the overall dead weight of the vehicle. Thus, applying the results of this research work will improve the efficiency and the fuel economy of the vehicle.
