Deflection Analysis of the Leaf Spring Suspension System with the Combination of Helical Springs
Abstract: An efficient and optimized leaf spring suspension system for heavy vehicles must have low deflection but good damping capacity of absorbing shocks and jerks. In this research article, deflection analysis of a modified leaf spring suspension system with the combination of helical spring model is presented. To furnish this end, in the typical leaf spring suspension system model, a helical spring at each side of the master leaf is incorporated. …

Suspension System with Combined Leaf and Helical Spring: A Review
Abstract: A good suspension system of any automobile vehicle must have minimum deflection, minimum weight, low maintenance and low operating cost with some other fine properties. Springs are major element of any suspension system and first line of its defense. If the suspension springs are rigid enough, they will not absorb road shocks efficiently, and if they are more flexible, then they will keep vibrating for a longer time even after …

Computational Analysis of Leaf Spring System with Functionally Graded Materials Using ANSYS
Abstract: Leaf springs are important parts of a vehicle’s suspension system, and their main function is to absorb shocks, improve stability, and make the ride more comfortable. Traditionally, ASTM A36 steel is used because it is strong, long-lasting, affordable, and easy to get. However, this type of steel is very dense, which makes vehicles heavier. This extra weight makes the vehicle less efficient and increases emissions. Because of these issues, there …

Comparative Study of Parabolic Leaf Spring and Different Materials
Abstract: AbstractSprings are used in automobile applications as they expand in size when loaded and regain its original shape when removed. They also absorb vibrations, shocks and loads utilizing damping, they absorb the energy in the form of potential energy. Springs’ capacity to absorb and store more strain energy makes the suspension system more comfortable. Conventional spring and parabolic springs are widely utilized springs and are currently the topic of research …
