Abstract

The current research presents the first step in the design process of a cantilever composite swing arm. The aim of the project is to design and model a swing arm according to the loads applied. Presently used material for swing arm is mild steel. In this project, we are going to design swing arm for the materials, mild steel and composite material carbon fiber. For validating this design, FEA structural analysis is done on the swing arm by using different materials. Modal analysis is also done for different mode shapes to know different frequencies with respect to deformation. For validating this design, FEA structural analysis is done on the leaf spring by using different materials. Modal analysis is also done for different mode shapes to know different frequencies with respect to deformation. Creo 2.0 software is used for designing and ANSYS Workbench 16.1 is used for analysis.
