Abstract

In this paper, the static and dynamic analysis of leaf is carried out using Finite Element Analysis. The ANSYS
18.0 is used to analyze the model. The leaf spring is modeled in CATIA software. Analytical method is used to predict the
maximum pay load of the vehicle and natural frequencies of leaf spring to compare with excitation frequency. With due
consideration of factor of safety, the maximum bending stress and corresponding pay loads are computed analytically
and validated with the results obtained in static analysis using ANSYS software. To assess the behavior of the different
parametric combinations of the leaf spring, the modal analysis is carried out using ANSYS software to determine the
natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes. These natural frequencies are compared with the excitation
frequencies at different speeds of the vehicle with the various widths of the road irregularity. These excitation
frequencies are validated with the analytical results.
