    Composite Sway-Bar Design and Manufacturing

    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)...

    Carbon Composite Shear Modulus (G) for torsion bar

    Reinking i will investigate the pultruded technique and move the topic on the proper forum. Thank You Fegizii

    Carbon Composite Shear Modulus (G) for torsion bar

    So in effect you would achieve a hollow bar, since the core would provide little stiffness. Do you think through filamnet winding you could achieve a comparable shear modulus to that of steel?

    Carbon Composite Shear Modulus (G) for torsion bar

    Compositepro, I was thinking of using a filament winding technique around a core (what material are typically used for cores?). I am intrigues by the application of composites in compression springs, but i could not find much information on the web or through SAE. Can you tell me where to...

    Carbon Composite Shear Modulus (G) for torsion bar

    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...
