Abstract |
The wheel is circulate by central shaft is knows axle. For vehicles the axle is attached to the wheels and rotating with each other and rotating around the axle. Conventionally the front axle is a dead axle. In our project, a basic model of front axle is prepared. The optimization of front axle is done varying materials and its cross section. The present used material used steel. Steel is replaced with Composite materials Glass Carbon and S – 2 Glass epoxy to reduce the weight of the axle. By reducing the weight, steering becomes easier. And also the strength of the composite materials is more than that of steel. Dynamic analysis is done on the axle to determine displacement, stress and strain. Dynamic analysis is the analyzing under time varying loads |
