Abstract
Abstract: This paper deals with the vibration analysis of Leaf Spring in which the comparison is done for two different materials and different end conditions. The materials used are both isotropic in nature. The material properties are mentioned in the paper during analysis. The spring is analysed with different L/R ratios using higher order shear deformation theory. The end conditions used for analysis are simply supported, clamped clamped and one end fixed other end free condition. The dependence of support conditions and radius of curvature on the frequency response is highlighted. The convergence study has been done along with comparison to validate the present formulation. The result and the analysis of the frequency of vibration can be used to optimize the frequency of leaf spring to have better ride. It was observed during analysis that as radius of curvature of leaf spring is decreased keeping length constant the value of frequency of vibration increases. It was also observed that as the boundary conditions are changed from clamped- clamped to simply supported the frequency also decreases for same Length/Radius of curvature ratio.
