The objective of this program was to design leaf springs for the Army-5-ton truck using composite materials and to establish the bestmanufacturing process for producing the springs in modest quantities (25 sets of srping assemblies per day), while maintaining consistent material properties. Ten rear spring assemblies (Phase 1) and ten front spring assemblies (Phase 2) were fabricated from the established process, Steel leaves were used in combination with fiberglass/epoxy leaves. The steel leaves assures interchangeability with the existing all steel leaf springs. S-2 glass fibers was used in the composite laves to meet the performance requirements. This report includes the results of the design study, material selection, and fabrication process evaluation, are included in the report. A description of the fabrication process used in making prototype parts is included as well as an economic analysis for producing composite leaf springs in large quantities. Components.
