Abstract The objective of this work is to find the crack location and crack depth in leaf spring of an army jeep. The spring is subjected to heavy jerks and vibration during the military operation. Therefore it is necessary to find the crack in a leaf spring. Crack in a leaf spring introduces local flexibility that would affect the vibration response of the leaf spring. Main problem is to detect existence of a crack together with its location and depth in the leaf spring .We used a natural frequency a basic criteria for crack detection. Analytical calculations are done to find out natural frequency of leaf spring by using Euler's beam theory. Ansys 16.0 is used to find out natural frequency along with experimentation on FFT analyzer. Now, We propose a method based on some set of fuzzy rules obtained from the information supplemented by Numerical Analysis. Fuzzy controller use comprises of three input variables (first, second and third natural frequency) and two output variables (relative crack length and relative crack depth) are generated with Triangular MF.
