The radiator fan blades is manufactured using various materials and we have chosen FRP has the material because it provides excellent corrosion resistance. The heat from the radiator is reduced by circulating cooling water and the fan supplies the air required for cooling. The design of entire blade is taken into consideration for analysing the failure of the blade as the radiator fan is analysed under static condition as the fan blade is in corrosive environment. The Fibre reinforced plastic radiator fan blade analysis is conducted to test the Fibre reinforced plastic object that is able to withstand dynamic as well as structural loads. For this paper the blade design is achieved by reverse engineering, static analysis is achieved using ANSYS where the FRP radiator fan’s 3D rigid model is used for structure stability (analysis). The weight acting and external properties were implied to the radiator fan throughout its entire length. The FRP radiator fan is brushed with a coat of enamel based epoxy of grey in colour and validates the Fibre reinforced plastic radiator fan which can withstand the property of corroding by environment.
