I am in the process of designing a composite sway bar for automotive applications, the objective is to reduce the weight of the part.
I have been told to look into two manufacturing techniques:
- Filament winding
- Pulltrusion
From what i undestand (i have little experience with composites)...
Hi all,
I am trying to calculate the spring rate of a torsion bar, and analyse the feasibility of a cmposite design to substitute the steel one.
Now in order to calculate the spring rate i need to know the Shear Modulus of elasticity. How does CF comapre to steel in that regard?
I am aware...
