ANALYSIS OF STAINLESS STEEL BASED HELICAL SPRING USING FEM

A helical spring is a mechanical device typically used to store and subsequently release energy, to absorb shock, or to maintain force between a contracting surface. The current work is being carried out on modeling, and the suspension spring analysis is to replace the steel helical spring used in popular two-wheeled vehicles. The use of traditional steels such as spring increases the weight and energy of the required manufacturing process more, so manufacturers are willing to use composite materials that are lightweight and also have corrosion resistance, and can also withstand high temperatures. Composite materials are more expensive to manufacture than steel springs. The use of composite materials is beneficial if the manufacturing process is standardized, as it can increase the efficiency of the vehicle’s commitment to overcome the cost of materials.
