Static analysis on mono composite leaf spring for Maruti 800 light vehicles

In this paper design and analysis of composite leaf spring made of glassfiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and sisal fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP). In addition, to compare the load carrying capacity, stiffness and weight savings of composite leaf spring with that of steel leaf spring. The dimensions of conventional steel leaf spring are used to fabricate a composite mono leaf spring using GFRP unidirectional laminates. Static analysis of 2-D model of conventional leaf spring is also performed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and compared with experimental results. and the analytical results are compared with experimental results from the analysis it is observed that Sisal fiber /Epoxy mono composite leaf spring showing best results as compared to the other materials
