DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF INTERMIDIATE COMBINATION OF STRUCTURAL STEEL AND GRAY CAST STEEL LEAF SPRING STRUCTURES
Keywords:
Practically reviewed Material, Practically reviewed Structure, Natural Frequency, static Analysis.Abstract
The aim of the project is to design a new class leaf spring by using practically reviewed material and practically reviewed structural concept. Analysis is done on leaf spring of different materials having high structural strength and damping capacity. We know that every material does not have both the properties. We can achieve both properties in composite materials but we can’t use it for heavy vehicles and also it is costly. We can also achieve the both properties in conventional material leaf spring by applying the concept of PRM & PRS. In static analysis deformation, stress, strain can be found out. Modal analysis is done to find natural frequency. With optimization in design & material we can determine best quality of leaf spring structure. The modelling of the leaf spring has been
done in SOLID WORKS. Finite analysis of the leaf spring is carried out in ANSYS 14.5 work bench.
