Abstract
In the current scenario Transportation vehicle manufacturing sector is concentrating much on reducing the total weight of the vehicles& thereby increasing fuel Efficiency. In this direction Polymer composite materials are effectively utilized. As these materials comparatively have better strain energy storage ability, high strength and less weight than conventional alloy material. This research shed the light on the possibility of replacing conventionally used Steel helical coil springs by fiber reinforced plastic helical coil springs. Also, this research aims to prepare a re-usable Mild Steel mandrel (mould); development of ”modified filament winding technique”; Fabrication of Glass-Epoxy helical spring using continuous glass fibres and thermo set polymer - Epoxy Resin reinforced with micron size Graphite powder. Experimentation will be carried on fabricated composite helical spring to determine its strength parameters &also to compare it with Composite helical spring without reinforcement.
