Designing and Comparative Analysis of EN-45 Steel Mono Leaf Spring with Composite Material Mono Leaf Spring under Static Loading Condition

Nishant Bhosle

Abstract :

 This paper gives a look on how weight of leaf spring is reduced along with bending stresses while maintaining stiffness of leaf spring. CAD model of leaf spring is designed on CRE-O 2.0 and analysis is carried out using ANSYS 14.5. The material used for leaf springs is generally having 0.90 to 1.0% carbon content. For example, conventional spring materials such as 50CrV4, EN45, EN47, etc. are being used since ages because of their tendency to return to their original shape despite of significant deflection. In this paper a mono leaf spring of E-GLASS/EPOXY material is designed and compared with EN45 steel.
