Abstract
The unique and diverse characteristics of composite materials have increased in many folds. From feather weight rods to high performance aircraft parts, the use fiber reinforced materials have become a compelling asset due to their high strength to weight ratio and high strength to stiffness ratio combined with easy manufacturing methods. The present endeavor is one such attempt to study the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) by varying volume percentage. The mechanical properties involved in the study are tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength. The results are compared for different loading conditions and a suitable composition is selected for the fabrication of mono composite leaf spring. The study concluded that the composite leaf spring had induced stresses much lower than that of steel leaf spring and the spring weight was nearly 44% lower when compared to steel leaf spring.
