Design and Analysis of Leaf Spring Suspension System

Abstract

Suspensions are used in vehicles for a comfortable as well as a shock and vibration free ride. Leaf springs are proven to be effective in case of heavy and cyclic loads. In this particular paper the leaf spring suspension system is designed for a heavy weighted onion harvester which is a theme of SAE - INDIA TIFAN 2019 competition. The aim is to design an efficient and compact suspension system which will prevent the fatigue failure of vehicle and which will ultimately bear the load.
