Explicit Nonlinear Finite Element Geometric Analysis of Parabolic Leaf Springs under Various Loads

This study describes the effects of bounce, brake, and roll behavior of a bus toward its leaf spring suspension systems. Parabolic leaf springs are designed based on vertical deflection and stress; however, loads are practically derived from various modes especially under harsh road drives or emerge...
