Introduction to Leaf Spring
•Leaf Spring is used for suspension in wheeled vehicle•It takes the form of a slender arc shaped length of
spring steel of rectangular cross section•For very heavy vehicles, a leaf spring can be made from
several leaves stacked on top of each other in several layers
•A leaf spring can either be attached directly to the frame at both ends or attached directly at one end
•The leaf spring acts as a linkage for holding the axle in position and thus separate linkage are not necessary

Discussion based on Outcome
•Quite obviously, deflection value is increasing with applied load.
•Order of deformation observed:Structural steel< Composite leaf spring< Stainless steel
