Abstract

Now-a-days it is necessary to conserve natural resources, economize energy and weight reduction. Weight reduction of vehicle has become the main issue in Automobile Industries. It can be achieved by introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing process. The Automobile Industry has interest for replacement of Steel Leaf Spring with Composite Leaf Spring. Composite Material has High Strength and Stiffness to Weight Ratio. The Objective is to compare the Stresses, Deformation, Elastic Strain and Weight of Composite Leaf Spring with that of Steel Leaf Spring. The Material Selected is Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer is used against Conventional Steel. The Leaf Spring was modelled in CATIA and analysis done in ANSYS Software.
