The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the use of composite leaf spring in the place of conventional steel leaf spring, since the composite material has high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance. Therefore the objective is to compare deflections and weight savings of composite leaf spring with that of steel leaf spring. A lot of research work has been carried out in the context of leaf spring considering its material and a significant progress has been observed in the field of weigh reduction, improvement of load carrying capacity when we replace the material of the spring by any advanced material like composites as E-glass/epoxy, carbon/epoxy and Graphite Epoxy. The multi-leaf spring is modelled in CATIA V5R18 and the same were analysed under similar conditions using ANSYS (Workbench 16.0) software. Result shows that, the weight of composite leaf spring was nearly reduced up to 85% compared with steel material. The leaf spring used here is a simpler one.
