Finite Element Analysis of Leaf Spring with Comparative Study Using Alternative Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Leaf Springs find its applications in most of the automobiles, In this paper a Finite element Analysis was done on a leaf spring model. The results were verified using the analytical values. Two different alternative materials were used to replace the steel. A comparative study was done on how the results change with the input parameters and also with the usage of alternative materials.
