4.1. Geometrical modeling
The geometrical model of a given dimension, 915 mm in length, 57 mm in
width and 7 mm thick of single steel leaf spring was prepared by solid
works 17 software. After this geometrical model was imported to the
ANSYS software for conducting stress analysis. The geometrical model of
steel leaf spring is shown in Fig. 4.1.
After that, the geometric model has imported into ANSYS 18.0. The
appropriate material properties of EN45 steel spring were assigned to
the geometrical model for analysis purposes
