Design and Development of Bus Body Construction Using Composite Materials

In present day cost of the traditional materials like steel,Aluminium is more costlier to construct vehicles Body structure. fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a composite material manufacture specially by a combination of a polymer matrix and reinforcing fibers it has some unique properties exceptionally strong, lightweight, and durable it can be used to make bus construction for improve fuel consumption and provides safety for the Passengers, two wheelers and pedestrians’ fiber provides toughness and structural strength to the flexible polymers and reinforces. The aim of the work is to Construct a Busses using of fiber reinforced polymer to improve fuel efficiency and safety for pedestrians. Fiber reinforced polymer is much cheaper than steels and easy to repair. The tensile strength of carbon fiber is 800-2000 mpa it is equal to the properties of steel. Carbon fiber made from carbon atoms bonded together in a crystal alignment that holds the structure of vehicle during load conditions. it is easy of reclamation process to recycling. Key Words: composite material, carbon fiber, high tensile strength, light weight, corrosive resistance, safety, low cost
