Design and Performance Analysis of Multi-Leaf Spring Using Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic-Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

Car segments have an expanding rivalry in the market and it will in general create development in the current items by either succeed with another or altered propelled material items. A suspension framework is one of the most intriguing push territories on vehicle structure. This task effort is worried about the plan and investigation of mechanical portrayal of leaf springs that are in effect despite everything utilized generally in cars as suspension segments. Car makers have the due significance on enhancement for the mileage of the vehicle which thusly on a structure perspective the weight decrease is the most concerned one. There by the strength-weight proportion idea has been created and composite material is executed. The utilization of composite leaf spring rather than ordinary steel leaf spring is favored for the examination due to its high solidarity to weight proportion. It is made convincing to decrease the weight of the leaf spring without relinquishing the solidness and burden conveying limit of the spring by the usage of composite materials. The target of this task work is the plan and examination of the exhibition qualities of Glass Fiber Reinforced plastic (GFRP) with iron powder as a composite leaf spring and correlation with traditional leaf spring. The composite example is created utilizing hand layup technique. Exploratory work have been completed an all Universal Testing Machine for the composite and ordinary steel leaf spring and approved with the ANSYS investigation. The investigation results are connected so near test.
