Abstract |
|
The main use of Leaf springs is in suspension system to absorb shock loads due to road irregularities in automobiles like light motor vehicles, heavy duty trucks and in rail systems. Leaf springs carry lateral loads, brake torque, vibrations in addition to shock absorbing. The benefit of leaf spring over helical spring is that the ends of the spring can be guided along a definite path as it deflects to act as a structural member in addition to energy absorbing device. The suspension leaf spring is one of the potential items for weight reduction in automobiles unsprung weight. The main aim of our research is to study and analyze the leaf spring of a vehicle which is made up of E-glass epoxy material. Experimental testing will be carried out on UTM and analysis with the help of ANSYS-Workbench software. The comparative analysis will be carried out between the analytical and experimental results. |
