Study and Analysis of Front Suspension Shackle Bracket for Commercial Vehicle

  Jadhav Shashikant,  Madki S.

This paper reviews work done in the area of Optimization & Design of Rear Suspension Shackle Bracket by FEM. Shackle Bracket is part of leaf spring assembly, which accommodates leaf deformation, when subjected to operational load. Simple, to allow for length changes of a leaf spring. A leaf spring suspension is a simple thing, above vehicle axle Leaf spring is assembled and supports the weight of the vehicle. As a leaf spring flexible to down or up, changes the length from eye to eye. Since one end is mounted fixed, and can’t move, at one end the changes of length happens, which has a shackle between the spring and frame to allow for movement. Provides support for front spring and Transfers forces to frame. In article structure of shackle bracket is used for study the structural behavior of main whole structure under different working load conditions. Casting & forming process is used for Shackle bracket. 3D modeling Pro-E software is used for of structure & Nastran software is used to carry out Linear & Non-linear Static analysis of structure to find out the deformation & maximum stresses.
