Design and examination of composite material leaf spring has become crucial in demonstrating the comparative outcomes with conventional leaf spring. The Automobile business has demonstrated the concer for substitution of steel leaf spring with that of glass fiber composite leaf spring. because the composite has great force to mass proportion, great consumption resistance and tailor-able properties. The suspension system in vehicle altogether affects the behavior of automobile, i.e. vibration features including drive comfort, steering strength, etc. leaf spring used in the suspension system of automobile are subjected to a large number of changing stress sequences leading to fatigue failure. In the event that the unsprung heaviness (the mass, which is not reinforced by the suspension system) is reduced, afterward the fatigue stress produced in the leaf spring is additionally reduced. Even a little measure of mass reduction in the leaf spring will lead to enhancements in passenger coziness and in addition reduction in automobile expense. In this circumstance, the substitution of steel leaf spring by composite material reduces the weight of leaf springs. In this work, the existing steel leaf (multi- leaf) spring of Huanghai get is taken for modeling and investigation. The design limitations are stress and displacement. A composite mono leaf spring of E-glass Epoxy composite material is formed and exposed to the same load as that of steel leaf spring. Composite mono leaf spring is modeled with consistent cross section in CATIA and stress, deflection, modular (natural frequency) safety factor and fatigue examination of this model is performed utilizing ANSYS 12.0 and results were compared. Investigation results of stress, weight, deflection and fatigue life of existing and mono composite leaf spring is discovered with a huge dissimilarity. Mono composite leaf spring has 73.24% lesser stress, 5.3% lesser deflection, 92.9% weight reduction and longer fatigue life than existing leaf spring thereby increased safety factor is observed. Natural frequency of composite leaf is less than existing yet which is greater than street frequency (12Hz), with the goal that it is comfortable and resonance is likewise very much reduced. 2024-11-04T00:48:46Z 2024-11-04T00:48:46Z 2017 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/34956 en application/pdf
