ANSYS based Analysis of Leaf Spring Systems with Hybrid Material Arrangement

Deformations that may occur on multi-level parabolic leaf spring systems due to external effects such as vibration and force should be analyzed before the system is designed. In this work, ANSYS-based deformation analyzes were carried out for 10-7 parabolic leaf spring systems designed by using stainless steel and titanium alloy materials in hybrid structure. From the deformation analyzes performed under the force values of 5000 N, 10000 N and 15000 N, it was observed that the highest total deformation values were obtained in the Group 6 structure as 1.0042 e-4 m, 2.0084 e-4 m and 3.0125 e-4 m, respectively. On the other hand, among the leaf spring system structures with different material arrangements, it was observed that the lowest total deformation values were obtained in the Group 5 structure as 5.1221 e-5 m, 1.0244 e-4 m ve 1.5366 e-4 m, respectively.
