A Review - Structural design of leaf spring by using Hybrid Composite Material

Weight reduction is now the main issue in automobile industries. In this work due to reduce the weight of steel spring with Hybrid composite leaf spring due to high strength ratio is need to improve. The main aim is to make a review on the load carrying capacity, stiffness and weight savings of composite leaf spring with that of steel leaf spring at rated-load and over-load condition. The analysis has been carried out for the leaf spring made up of steel and Composite materials. Composite specimens are fabricated with two different staking sequences like the (resin with clay and enhanced with Nanoparticles). The thickness and width for constant cross section is maintained on the moulding techniques. The design of multi leaf spring was modeled in ANSYS 14.5.the dimensions of an existing multi leaf spring is taken for modeling and analysis of a laminated composite multi leaf spring with different composite sequence materials subjected to the same load as that of steel spring.
