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 that it (G) depends on the layout of the composite and the type of manufacturing.. etc
Here is where i need your advice, if you wanted to replicate the same spring rate of a torsion bar with a composite design how would you go about it?
