    Computational Analysis of Leaf Spring System with Functionally Graded Materials Using ANSYS

    By Charan Gopi Krishna Kondapalli, S. N. Padhi, Shaik. Nagoor Baba

    Abstract: Leaf springs are important parts of a vehicle’s suspension system, and their main function is to absorb shocks, improve stability, and make the ride more comfortable. Traditionally, ASTM A36 steel is used because it is strong, long-lasting, affordable, and easy to get. However, this type of steel is very dense, which makes vehicles heavier. This extra weight makes the vehicle less efficient and increases emissions. Because of these issues, there …

    Polymer Matrix Characterization and Interfacial Engineering in Bamboo/Sisal/Chopped Mat Hybrid Fiber Composites

    By Pagolu Sai Vamsi, S. N. Padhi

    Abstract: The present investigation focuses on the characterization of polymer matrices and the interfacial behavior of bamboo, sisal, and chopped strand mat (CSM) fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. The work aims to understand how natural fibers influence the curing, thermal, and adhesion properties of hybrid composite systems. Experimental analyses were carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to evaluate curing …
