Project closed

Start date 1 July 1991

End date 30 June 1993

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 160 000,00

EU contribution € 96 000,00

Objective

The aim of this research project is to improve laboratory testing conditions for wire for use in vehicle coil spring suspension systems. These experiments will determine precise torsional and rotational strength parameters rather than continuing to rely on extrapolated fatigue strength data and will result in greatly improved vehicle spring design with corresponding improvements in vehicle performance and fuel economy. Experiments to DIN 2089 standards will also be performed.
