ABSTRACT
The subject gives a brief look on the suitability of composite leaf spring on vehicles and their advantages. Efforts have been made to reduce the cost of composite leaf spring to that of steel leaf spring. The achievement of weight reduction with adequate improvement of mechanical properties has made composite a very replacement material for convectional steel. Material and manufacturing process are selected upon on the cost and strength factor. The design method is selected on the basis of mass production.

Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by the introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing processes. The suspension leaf spring is one of the potential items for weight reduction in automobiles as it accounts for 10% - 20% of the unsprung weight. This achieves the vehicle with more fuel efficiency and improved riding qualities.

Composites are combinations of two more separate materials on a microscopic level, in a controlled manner to give desired properties. The properties of a composite will be different from those of the constituents in isolation.

Metal matrix composite

A metal matrix composite (MMC) is composite material with at least two constituent parts, one being a metal. The other material may be a different metal or another material, such as a ceramic or organic compound. When at least three materials are present, it is called a hybrid composite. An MMC is complementary to a cermet.Contents

Deterioration of reinforced concrete structures due to corrosion of steel is a cause of global concern. The losses due to corrosion every year run into millions of rupees and any solution to this universal problem of corrosion has a direct bearing economy of the country. It is estimated that about 30-40 percent of steel produced each year is used to replace corroded material.
In recent years, the construction industry has seen an increased demand to reinstate, rejuvenate, strengthen and upgrade existing concrete structures. This may be attrib ....etc
