Abstract
This project works aims to study and examine the stress distribution of leaf spring. The function of a suspension system is to absorb the bumps in the road and accordingly maximizing the general overall performance of a vehicle. A type of suspension system, the leaf spring suspension system is frequently used, especially in commercial vehicles. It is important to do a proper fail proof analysis of these components prior to manufacturing and use. In our project work modeling of leaf spring is done by using CAD software i.e. Catia V5. Later this CAD modal is imported to ANSYS WORKBENCH 2016. ANSYS WORKBENCH 2016 is the latest software used for simulating the different forces acting on the component and also calculating and viewing the results. By using ANSYS WORKBENCH 2016 software reduces the time compared with the method of mathematical calculations by a human. ANSYS WORKBENCH 2016 transient structural analysis work is carried out by considered three different non-linear materials namely structural steel, Titanium Alloy & Grey cast iron and their relative performances have been observed respectively is suggested as best material for leaf spring.Keywords: Leaf Spring, Design, Catia V5, Ansys etc.
