Commercial vehicles are a mode of transportation that plays an important role of the nation economy, so it is necessary to pay attention to their effectiveness and efficiency factors. Commercial vehicles have high effectiveness if they are able to send as many goods as possible, but the durability of vehicle components must be considered. One way to increase vehicle load capacity is by adding more slots leaf spring. This study aims to determine the effect of adding slot of leaf spring to the static strength of the rear suspension of Mitsubishi FE 71 110 Ps. This study discusses the static strength of three types of leaf spring arrangement, they are original leaf spring arrangement, the addition of a 700mm spring slot and an additional 1000 mm spring slot. The research was conducted by creating 3-dimensional design drawings and simulating static analysis using SolidWork software. The data sought are the stress and strain values for each variation. The result is the maximum stress value of the original leaf spring arrangement of 14.58 x107 N / m2, an additional slot of 700 mm 21.80 x107 N / m2, and an additional slot of 1,000 mm 24.93 x107 N / m2.

“…But there was no discussion about boundary conditions and composite layer sequence and layer thickness. V. Hariram et al [18] carried out the analysis of leaf springs by hybrid composite and conventional material with different loading conditions. Where, they have found that hybrid composite material is inducing less stress, less deflection, and weight reduction compared to conventional steel.…”

In the current era, an automobile vehicle company’s major focus is now on conserving natural resources, reducing consumption of fuel, and reducing the weight of vehicle components. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption and mitigate global warming, an electric vehicle will be a viable option. However, the EV’s main issue is the vehicle’s battery longevity. More power is necessary to drive a vehicle. The best solution to the issue is to reduce the vehicle component weight. Electric Vehicle suspension systems are another sector in which these developments are performed on a regular basis. Substantial steps are being taken to improve the vehicle ride quality. In this study, static and dynamic analysis has been carried out by finite element analysis at Ansys workbench and taken structural steel material for mono leaf spring. In composite material, carbon fiber and glass fiber have been considered as reinforcement and resin epoxy has been taken as matrix for mono leaf spring. The composite material fabrication has been accomplished layer by layer at Ansys ACP. After analysis, this study has revealed that by using composite material a magnificent amount of weight reduction has been achieved without sacrificing load-bearing capability, strength, and rigidity.

“…Several studies on the weight reduction of leaf springs have been published in the literature. ANSYS software is used to analyze the leaf spring built of C glass composite and traditional steel material [1]. When compared to steel leaf springs, the composite leaf spring weighed less and caused 64% less stress [2].…”

A great deal of work is put into decreasing the fuel consumption of automotive vehicles, which may be accomplished by reducing the bulk of the vehicles. One component that may be explored is the leaf spring, which is extensively utilized in many sorts of cars, including electric ones. For the leaf spring, four distinct materials are considered: standard steel, Epoxy/E-Glass UD composite, Epoxy/E-Glass Wet composite, and Epoxy/S-Glass UD composite. The FEA study executed with the help of the ANSYS finite element code. Firstly, the 3-D model of the leaf spring with different thickness varying from 15mm to 65mm is designed using SolidWorks software which is then imported to the ANSYS software for the static analysis. Along with this, the finite element analysis under full load on 3-D composite multi leaf spring model is executed using ANSYS 2020 R1 by taking three different materials and then the result for the different static behaviour of the leaf spring are compared for all the materials assigned. In this paper we describe design and analysis of composite leaf spring. The leaf spring model used for this purpose is a rear leaf spring used in MAHINDRA “MODEL-COMMANDER 650 DI”. When compared to traditional steel, the mass of hybrid composite material is 62% lower. Hybrid composite materials have 36% lower equivalent (Von-Mises) stress than steel. Utlimately, the hybrid composite material may be employed as a leaf spring, decreasing the total weight of automobiles.
