Abstract

In present scenario weight reduction is the main focus of an automobile manufacturer. Leaf spring is an important component for any automobile. Generally leaf spring is used for suspension purpose in heavy vehicles. These springs are mainly made of steel material which having more weight. In order to reduce weight, here composite leaf spring is used instead of steel leaf spring. This topic describes design and static structural analysis of steel leaf spring and laminated composite leaf spring. The dimensions of an existing conventional steel leaf spring of a light commercial vehicle mini truck are taken and are verified by design calculations. Static structural analysis of a 3-D model of conventional leaf spring is performed using ANSYS. Same dimensions are used in composite multi leaf spring using carbon/Epoxy and Graphite/Epoxy unidirectional laminates. The load carrying capacity, and weight of composite leaf spring are compared with that of steel leaf spring.
