Mathematical Modeling and Availability Analysis of Leaf Spring Manufacturing Plant

Abstract

In this manuscript, we portray the composition and availability analysis of leaf spring. In wheeled vehicles for the suspension, an elementary form of spring i.e. leaf spring is usually utilized. Particularly in industrial vehicles, Leaf springs are one of the widely recognized suspension segments they are frequently used. A method is presented that tests the availability of each part involved in the system as well as the system as a whole. Besides, the analysis demonstrates an optimization model that helps to boost the availability of the leaf spring production plant system. The system is divided into different subsystems considering various phases in the production of leaf spring. The framework of this system consists of four components i.e. shearing, punching, heating, and assembling. Using the Markov birth-death strategy we established the mathematical model of the plant. The matrix method is applied to simplify the differential equations and C programming survey the fluctuation of availability related to time. The numerical results for the different framework are given which are effective to enhance the maintenance policy of the system.
