Abstract
Weight reduction with improved strength of design is important research topic all around the globe. One very common solution for this issue now a days are composite material. Leaf springs are important for a suspension of sprung mass in the vehicle; it softens the effect of road vibrations on vehicle. An objective of this work is to reduce the weight of the leaf spring using alternative material for the leaf spring for the application. It will include studying leaf with different composite materials and comparison of their strength and mass with the steel leaf spring used conventionally. Also vibration analysis will be carried out on the composite leaf springs and their natural frequencies will be compared to derive best suited composite material for the leaf spring.
