Design and Analysis of Leaf Spring with Composite materials

Abstract

 In automobile sector tends to increasing competition and innovation in design and tends to modify the existing products by new and advanced materials. Leaf springs are special kind of springs used in automobile suspension systems. The main function of leaf spring is not only to support vertical load but also to isolate road induced vibrations. It is subjected to millions of load cycles leading to fatigue failure. The introduction of composite materials has made it possible to reduce the weight of the leaf spring without any reduction in load carrying capacity and stiffness. Therefore the objective of this paper is to present a general study on the performance comparison of composite (E-Glass/Epoxy and Jute E-Glass) leaf spring and conventional leaf spring. Leaf spring is modeled in CATIA V5R20 software and it is imported in ANSYS 12.0. The conventional composite leaf springs were analyzed under similar conditions using ANSYS software and the results are presented.
