Optimization of Multi Leaf Spring by using Design of Experiments & Simulated Annealing Algorithm
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
This work carried out on a multi leaf spring of a tractor trolley with maximum load carrying capacity of 5 Tones. The CAD model of this MLS has been modeled in CATIA V5. After successfully preparing the CAD model, MLS is then tested in Static Structural Analysis workbench for stress and deflection computations. The finite element analysis of the leaf spring has been performed by converting the model into number of nodes and elements and then applying the relevant boundary conditions under the static loading conditions. After implementation of FEA it was observed that the red area close to shackle was undergoing maximum value of stress. This observation leads us to the workbench of Knowledge ware and this aided us in studying the response of crucial output parameters of MLS in the form of Stress and Deflection via Design of experiments. DOE paved the way for SAA where optimization was carried out in order to reach the minimal stress. The corresponding values of camber and leaf span were recorded for minimal stress
