Review Over A Leaf Spring for Automobile Suspension System

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to represent general study of design & analysis of leaf spring. Leaf springs are normally used in the vehicle suspension system . Many research paper has been done for improving the performance of leaf spring. The automobile industry has shown interest in the replacement of steel spring with composite leaf spring. In this paper is also analysis of failure in leaf spring. The automakers can reduce product development cost and time. The predictive capability of computer aided engineering tool has progressed to point where much of the design verification is now using computer simulation rather than physical prototype testing.
