Abstract

The aim of this review paper is to represent a general study on the design, analysis of leaf spring. In passenger
vehicles ride comfort and load carrying capacity, rigidity is important considerations. Vehicle comfort depends upon the
suspension system. Suspension system in automobile significantly affects the behaviour of vehicle. Leaf springs are perhaps
the simplest and are less expensive compared to other suspension. Leaf spring is there-fore an important aspect in the
suspension system design. Due to variation of load leaf springs are one of the most dynamically stressed components in
automobile therefore quality of vehicle ride depends upon the leaf spring characteristics used in suspension unit,
Performance measures of any leaf springs are its stiffness and fatigue life. This paper present analysis of leaf spring used in
light commercial vehicle.
