Torsion bar

Torsion bars are functions as a spring. One end is fixed firmly in place to the chassis or frame of a vehicle. Other end of the bar may be attached to the axle, suspension or spindle depending on the vehicle design.

Torsion bar (present demand)

Lower weight- the designer seek to reduce weight with every single opportunity. Safe design- without affect working nature.

Need of composite material

High strength- weight ratio.

Increasing availability due to advancements in their manufacturing processes.

Selection of material
Varieties of composite material available- one with the basic requirements of the torsion bar is needed. E glass fiber reinforced composite material replacing steel torsion bar.

E glass fiber reinforced composite material

Glass fiber with polymeric matrices- widely used in various commercial products. Low cost, corrosion resistance, efficient manufacturing potential. High elongation, moderate strength and weight, corrosion resistance. Lower cost relative to other composites.

Composition of torsion bar made of E glass fiber reinforced composite material

Carbon Glass Aramid fiber Epoxy Polyester Resin bath.
