In heavy vehicles leaf spring is used to restrict the impact shock and dump the vibration, generally they are made from steel which are very heavy. Composite materials (or composites for short) are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level within the finished structure. So to reduce the weight of leaf spring here in this work it analyzed the effect of different light weight composite material to manufacture leaf spring. In this work it considered three different composite materials that is E-glass epoxy, graphite-epoxy and carbon-epoxy composite and calculate the value of alternating equivalent stress and total deformation for each material. Finite element analysis of leaf spring was performed using Ansys, and also find out the life cycles for each material by performing fatigue analysis. It is found that E-glass epoxy composite has the highest life cycle and less deformation as compared to other materials.
