摘要: Abstract Fundamental properties of the dimensioning double tapered FRP leaf spring were investigated. The optimal taper ratio was proved to be 0·5. Prototype longitudinal type springs replace four steel made from glass fibre and epoxy. A new device for attachment GRP vehicle prepared. showed a superior endurance fail-safe characteristics, have sufficient strength.
