Abstract
The suspension system is a critical component of any vehicle, including two-wheelers, as it plays a vital role in maintaining ride comfort, stability, and safety. Helical springs are commonly used in two-wheeler suspension systems due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the design and optimization of helical springs for two wheeler suspension systems remain a challenging task due to their complex behavior under various loading conditions.
The project titled “ Design and Analysis of Helical Spring in Two Wheeler Suspension System” focuses on the design and analysis of helical springs used in the suspension system of two-wheelers.In this project , steel helical sprigs used in automobiles are replaced with Aluminium Alloy NL , Structural Steel and Titanium Alloy. The project involves the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software (SOLIDWORKS) to model the spring geometry and finite element analysis (FEA) (ANSYS) to simulate its behavior under different loading scenarios. The study aims to provide insights into the behavior of helical spring and improve their design for better ride comfort, handling, and stability of two-wheelers. The results obtained from the analysis will be validated through experimental testing of the designed spring. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of better suspension systems for two-wheelers, leading to safer and more comfortable rides.
