Abstract
Leaf spring is an essential part of automotive sector. In this paper we present our work on two types of leaf springs (i.e. Semi-elliptical and parabolic). The main intention of introducing this paper is to achieve modification in the design. We use input parameters like span length (distance between eyes to eyes), camber length (Arc height at axle seat) and Ratio. The model of leaf spring prepared with the help of ANSYS design modular (ANSYS 14.0) software and Structural steel and stainless steel were used as a Material. Here in this paper we focused on output results like deflection, stresses, factor of safety in stress and factor of safety in strain term. Over all simulations of semi-elliptical and parabolic leaf springs have been done on ANSYS 14.0 software and under the application of constant amplitude load (50 N). Our work concluded that whenever we change the length of span and camber we found that the semi-elliptical leaf spring produce maximum deflection and maximum stresses than the parabolic leaf spring under the same boundary condition. Our paper gives the detailed information and process with fine results.
