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. …

Design and Optimization of Mono Composite Leaf Spring: A Review
Abstract: Leaf spring is generally used for suspension system in various automobile industries. Due to its heavy weight, it increases the weight of automobile vehicles. Because of this problem, the automobile industry has shown interest in the replacement of conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring causing high strength to weight ratio, higher stiffness, and high impact energy absorption and lesser stresses. The introduction of composite materials has made it possible …
