Abstract

This paper is focused on determination of better eye end design and better material among Titanium and Steel for a single leaf spring. The procedure of this work is to carry out computer aided design and analysis of conventional single leaf spring with actual design considerations and loading conditions. This conventional 65Si7 spring steel leaf spring model and Titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 7Nb) with standard eye end, centred eye end and Inverted eye end are considered. The CAD model of the leaf springs is prepared in PRO-E and analysed using ANSYS. Static testing and finite element analysis have been carried out to obtain the characteristics of the spring. The standard eye and centred eye leaf springs are subjected to similar loading conditions. The CAE analysis of the leaf spring is performed for various parameters like Total deflection, von-misses stress and normal stress. The main objective of this work is to determine the better eye end design and select the best material among Steel and Titanium alloy and to reduce the time and cost related to actual experimental testing by providing a CAE solution.
