C-spring, E-glass epoxy, natural frequency, stress.
Suspension system is the crucial part of automotive design from point view of passenger comfort. Dr. Nano Inc., laboratory has introduced a flat composite C-spring replacing the coil spring of rear suspension of a light passenger vehicle. The spring is made up of E-glass epoxy material. This particular spring undertaken for study is for compact sedan Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire. The dissertation work carried out deals with the stress and modal analysis of this composite spring by FEM using ANSYS 15 software. tool. The results evaluated show composite C-spring has much lower stresses, higher natural frequency and higher strength to weight ratio.
