Leaf springs are used in heavy and medium motor vehicles to absorb shocks due to uneven road surface or bumps. The mono leaf spring is modeled using ANSYS design modeler and FEA analysis is performed using ANSYS static structural platform. Material optimization using MMC’s (Metal Matrix Composites) is carried out to achieve mass reduction of mono leaf spring without much compromise in strength. Comparative studies are made on the basis of stresses and strain energy generated. Considerable reduction in weight along with good energy absorption characteristics is obtained with the application of MMC’s on leaf spring.
