If you do a search for Ansys fatigue life you will find lots of examples. Basically apply the loading cycle or input a time history for the loading. Your major problem is obtaining a S-n curve for your specific material. Obtaining this usually involves a large number of sample tests for a range of alternating and 0-max cyclic loading conditions. Some common materials may be found in text books, other data from published papers and sometimes from the manufacturer of the material. As the testing is expensive it's rarely free for special materials such as aerospace.
This answer is based more on practical experience working with wood than science per se. If I were looking to make a leaf spring from wood I would start with a strong, tough wood such as hickory or oak that could be layered to make a leaf spring similar to the steel leaf springs that were once common on automobiles.
Leaf Springs are generally made from high carbon steels with carbon percentage ranging from 0.9 to 1.0%. However modern day methods have discovered a composite material which is E-Glass/Epoxy that can be used as an alternative to steel. It is a lighter material and possess good bending strength, reducing the suspension weight to 1/3rd of the one made from steel.
Almost any structural support. I-beams and such. Things already made into blades, like turbine blades or lawnmower blades.
for propeller shaft you need material with high torsional rigidity as well as material that can take a lot of fatigue . you can use alloy 303 or any low carbon steel with 10-18 % chromium and 5-8 % nickel. For gears in transmission and differential materials with manganese and chromium and nickel are preferred ,16MnCr5 ,20MnCr5. For hevy vehicles these materials are carburized with nickel to ensure more hardness(surface property )like En 353 and En36 For pistons we generally use ,cast aluminum alloy, for excellent and lightweight thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is necessary for piston as a lot of heat is generated and has to be tradiated in order to maintain engine temp. ,Aluminum, expands when heated, since it is constantly in motion with huge variations of speed you have to ensure it has low moment of inertia, hence alight weight material other than steel is also used. In leaf spring you can use ,PlaiIn carbon steel,, Chromium vanadium ,steel,, Chromium- Nickel- Molybdenum ,steel,, Silicon- manganese ,steel,,all you have to take care is their E and G while designing.
carbon steel The material used for leaf springs is usually ,plain carbon steel, having 0.90 to 1.0% carbon. The leaves are ,heat-treated, after the forming process. The ,heat, treatment of ,spring steel, products greater strength and therefore greater load capacity, a greater range of deflection, and better fatigue properties. Because leaf springs are made of relatively high-quality ,steel,, they are a favorite material for blacksmiths. A ,leaf spring, is a simple form of ,spring, commonly used for the ,suspension, in ,wheeled, ,vehicles,. Originally called a ,laminated, or ,carriage spring,, and sometimes referred to as a ,semi-elliptical spring,, ,elliptical spring,, or ,cart spring,, it is one of the oldest forms of springing, appearing on carriages in France in the mid-17th century in the form of the two-part elbow spring (as the illustrated example from Lisbon), and from there migrating to England and Germany. Leaf springs front independent suspension, front-wheel-drive ,Alvis, 1928 Independent front suspension by transverse leaf spring ,Humber, 1935 Independent front suspension by semi-elliptical springs Mercedes Benz 230 W153 1938 Leaf spring on a German ,locomotive, built by ,Orenstein-Koppel, and Lübecker Maschinenbau Three-quarter-elliptic leaf spring on a carriage. A leaf spring takes the form of a slender ,arc,-shaped length of ,spring steel, of ,rectangular, cross-section. In the most common configuration, the center of the arc provides a location for the ,axle,, while loops formed at either end provide for attaching to the vehicle chassis. For very heavy vehicles, a leaf spring can be made from several leaves stacked on top of each other in several layers, often with progressively shorter leaves. Leaf springs can serve to locate and to some extent damping as well as springing functions. While the interleaf friction provides a damping action, it is not well controlled and results in ,stiction, in the motion of the suspension. For this reason, some manufacturers have used mono-leaf springs.
Leaf Springs are intended to hold up under heavy cyclic loading and must be able to endure a wide range of different loading conditions. I believe most leaf springs are made out of mid to high Carbon Steels (.4< %C < .8). Steels in this range are typically used for springs… Consider what the leaf spring must achieve. It needs to be able to deform and then retain its shape over and over again. Steels in the range mentioned above have such elastic properties. Take a look at some stress vs strain plots for steel and compare them to other materials. Also take a look at some plots of “Cycles to Failure (N)” when considering the fatigue limit of your material. There are several other threads on Quora about this topic, For Example: Why does leaf springs made up of steel?
