Abstract:

The automobile firm has shown greater interest for replacement of conventional steel leaf spring with that of 65SI7 steel leaf spring, as the material has high strength to weight ratio and better corrosion resistance. The main objective of this work is to compare the load enhancing capacity, and weight savings of 65SI7 steel leaf spring with respect to conventional steel leaf spring. In this work, the numerical analysis of 65SI7 steel leaf spring using static analysis conditions. By using this developed model to predict the stress and deformation of leaf spring is performed using analysis software. Besides, the finite element model has been developed by using the numerical simulation using ANSYS software.
