The transport industry has quite an interest in the replacement of leaf spring with composite leaf spring due to high strength to weight ratio. the objective of the project is to find the effect of replacement of composite leaf spring made of bamboo fiber, coconut fiber, pineapple fiber and epoxy resin is carried out. Due to high strength to weight ratios, the automotive sector showed an increased interest in the composite fiber leaf spring as an alternative to steel leaf springs. Also, Composite materials in aeronautical, marine, and automotive industries are extensively accepted because of their outstanding mechanical properties, low density, and a production facility. The conventional leaf spring used is bulky so composite leaf spring should be used as a better alternative. Composite materials are extensively used in many engineering applications due to high strength and stiffness to weight ratio. The objective is to compare the stresses, deformations and weight saving of composite leaf spring with that of steel leaf spring. The design constraint is stiffness. The Automobile Industry has great interest for replacement of steel leaf spring with that of composite leaf spring, since the composite materials has high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance.
