A semi-elliptical laminated vehicle spring to carry a load of 6000 N is to consist
of seven leaves 65 mm wide, two of the leaves extending the full length of the
spring. The spring is to be 1.1 m in length and attached to the axle by two U-

distance between the bolts. Assume a design stress for spring material as 350
N/mm2. Determine:
1.Thickness of leaves
