Design and Analysis of Leaf Spring

The automobile vehicles have number of parts which can be able to replace by composite material, but due to the improvement of mechanical properties of composite material. It has more elastic strength and high strength to weight ratio has compared with those of steel material. So, out of many components one of the components of automobile, the leaf spring which use for carried out the whole weight of the vehicle is best option for replacement of steel material by composite materials. Leaf springs are used in suspension systems. The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel leaf spring with composite leaf spring due to high strength to weight ratio.Composite materials are one of the material families which are attracting researchers and being solutions of such issue. In this paper we describe design and analysis of composite leaf spring. For this purpose, a rear leaf spring for Mahindra Jeep Commander 650 Di" is considered.
