| Abstract | The mechanical behavior of composite C- and O-shaped glass and carbon fiber epoxy leaf springs were investigated.The composite springs were manufactured via the filament winding method. The effects of design variables such as the springthickness, fiber orientation, diameter, and clamping positions of the spring on the mechanical response were studied.Compression tests were conducted with a computer based control multi-purpose test suite machine. Test results revealed that Oshaped springs withstood a greater load compared to the C-shaped springs. Carbon fiber springs have much rigidity compared tothe glass fiber springs. Increasing spring thickness positively affected the spring capacity. The springs with a smaller diameterexhibited a stiffer response compared to the others. Moreover, placing fibers close to 90? produced the highest spring load. Also,95? clamping positions showed a better performance during the test. Finite element analysis was conducted using the Abaqussoftware package. Good agreement between experimental and numerical results was achieved. |
