Abstract
DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE MONO LEAF SPRING FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION IN LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
M. Sekar and A. Vinothkumar*
ABSTRACT
To control shock loads in light vehicles, heavy trucks and in some automobile vehicles leaf springs was mainly used. The difference of leaf spring done with helical spring which is the structural member to energy gripping device. For the natural source's conservation, manufacturing companies are trying to decrease the weight of the vehicles in upcoming years. In this work leaf spring of Coir Fiber Reinforced Composite with that of E-glass fiber for Light commercial vehicle was designed by using SOLIDWORKS modelling software. And the structural analysis was carried out in ANSYS simulation software for the structural deformation. Results and the values were compared between the conventional leaf spring with the Coir Fiber Reinforced composite leaf spring.
