Abstract: In the present work, Sandwich composite structures have a high bending stiffness which makes them very suited for automotive leaf spring. Sandwich composite the typical leaf spring configuration of mahindra SUV vehicle is selected for research. The static analysis gives the safe stress and with corresponding pay load .In this reasearch the sandwich composite materials like aluminium alloy (Al 5754 & Al 3003) and carbon epoxy (CFRP) are studied.
