Design of Leaf Spring for Light Commercial Vehicle for Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Reduce Weight to Improve the Performance Over a. Life

Light weight material and design have always being important topic’s in products design across several Automobile industries An parabolic leaf spring contributes considerable amount of weight to the vehicle and need to be strong enough. This work aim’s to focus on reducing weight and increasing or maintaining strength and fatigue life we conducted Analysis of mono leaf spring in Hyper-mesh and Femfat software and tried to find alternative to existing design to reduce weight of spring.
