ABSTRACT

The objective is to analyze the different types of composite material and load carrying capacity, stress stiffness and weight savings of composite leaf spring with that of steel leaf spring. The dimensions of conventional leaf spring are used to design in Solid works of composite multi-leaf spring assign material for analysis. Static analysis of a 3D model of conventional leaf spring is also performed using ANSYS 14.5 and compared with experimental results. Design and run the 16 experiment with the combination of load and material which gives output responses in terms of stress, deflection, and weight. Optimize the responses of 16 combinations by grey relation analysis for the better input parameter against output responses.
