Probabilistic design of composite leaf spring by using finite element method

Abstract

Abstract A parametric model is created in ANSYS workbench, FEA method is used to carry out probabilistic design in ANSYS workbench. Mono leaf spring is considered for analysis purpose and analysis is carried out. Composite material is applied to parametric model. Boundary conditions are applied to mono leaf spring, both ends are fixed and load (force) is applied to mono leaf spring. Meshing is carried out. The geometric parameters (thickness, width, etc.) are used as input parameter and Von-Mises stress considered as output parameter. For any further uncertainty in analysis, parametric co-relation function is used in ANSYS. The relation in geometric parameter and output parameter is achieved by correlation coefficients
