This paper investigated the stiffness reduction of the plate spring made of CFRP (Carbon cloth and epoxy) subjected to ultra high cyclic fatigue loading under high relative humidity. For practical uses, this paper proposes a new design which prevents the significant degradation with stiffness change of the plate spring at high humidity. Remarkable stiffness reduction of the plate spring due to cracks and delaminations around inter layer could be prevented by using CFRTP rather than that by using CFRP, when ultra high cyclic loading was applied to the plate spring under high humidity condition.
