Abstract

In engineering there is need to reduce weight of vehicle for cumulative or continuing power of constituent of the vehicle. Where most significant system in the vehicle is interruption system. Now in the light vehicles we are by means of coil spring in its place of leaf spring due to failure of leaf spring. But leaf spring has some advantages as compared to coil spring. So we have to overcome this problem by replacing composite material into steel materials. Leaf spring contributes considerable amount of weight to the vehicle, leaf spring is designed and simulated following the design rules of the composite materials considering static loading. Leaf spring mass-produced with variable cross section technique. The variable cross section strategy of leaf springs is working to take compensations of ease of intention examination and its industrial process. It is given away that the subsequent design and simulation pressures are much below the strength possessions of the material, sustaining the maximum stress failure. The intended composite leaf spring has also accomplished its suitable fatigue life. Prototype of leaf s

pring created using hand lay-up technique. Decreasing weight and accumulative strength of products are high research demands. Composite materials are receiving to be up to the stain of sustaining these stresses. We resolve regulate the fatigue life of manmade leaf spring and is compared with consequences of logical and FEA conquences of existing leaf spring. As per directly above study we accomplish on the beginning of mention that the resulting strategy and simulation pressures are much underneath the strong point belongings which sustaining the thoroughgoing stress failure condition.
