Review paper on Analysis of Mono Composite Leaf Spring for Light Commercial Vehicle Using Finite Element Method

Leaf springs probably are the oldest automobile suspension gadgets still in active use. Weight reduction has been the main focus of automobile manufacturers in the present scenario. Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by the introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing processes. In this dissertation work the material of the leaf spring is changed. The new Leaf spring is used which is made of composite material and high weight reduction is achieved. The main objective of research work is to carry out Sensation analysis of composite leaf spring with nonlinear parameters. Here free and forced Sensational Analysis of Composite Leaf Spring is done and compared with Steel Leaf Spring. The nonlinear Sensation analysis is carried out. So, to achieve this, CATIA and ANSYS software’s are used for three dimensional modeling and analysis respectively. The simulated results are compared with experimental results. The result shows good Agreement between experimental results and numerical results.
