The deformations that may occur on multi-level parabolic leaf spring systems due to the external
effects such as vibration and force should be analyzed before the system designed. In this work,
ANSYS based modal and deformation analyzes have been carried out for 10-7 parabolic leaf spring
systems designed by using the Stainless Steel, Titanium Alloy and Aluminum Alloy materials. From
the deformation analyzes realized under the force values of 1000 N, 3000 N and 5000 N, it was
observed that the maximum total deformation values were obtained for Aluminum Alloy material
and the relevant deformations were obtained as 2.7620 e-5 m, 8.2861 e-5 m and 1.3810 e-4 m,
respectively. In order to analyze the effects of the different materials on the resonance frequencies,
the modal analyzes were also realized under the 5000 N force value. The modal analyzes results
represent that the resonance frequency value intervals were emerged as [141.3 Hz-515.14 Hz] for
Stainless Steel material, [128.66 Hz-471.47 Hz] for Titanium Alloy material and [142.89 Hz-522.97 Hz]
for Aluminum Alloy material.
