Abstract
Silencer guard is the component used to cover exhaust pipe in two wheeler vehicle such that the hot pipe should not affect the passenger. It is given to protect the exhaust pipe and as well as to protect the passenger from the hot pipe. Compact and contoured guard stays cool to the touch. It creates a barrier to prevent the rider from bumping into or resting his or her boot or leg along the back portion of the muffler. Generally silencer guard comes in different materials. In this, guard of Hero Pleasure is considered, as failure of the equipment is found in most of the case. The silencer guard of pleasure is made of poly propylene plastic. The failure of this equipment causes due to the load applied by passenger on it. In this project the force of about 60kg is applied on the guard component and analysis is carried out. For the existing component it was observed in the analysis results that stress induced is more than that of allowable limit and the displacement is maximum. Hence the optimization of design and analysis is carried out with additional stiffeners to overcome the failure and be implemented.
