Abstract - The study represents new approach to
design helical coil spring by using workbench.
Response surface modeling and analysis of helical
spring by considering Translational invariance have
been carried out. In previous paper we had considered
longitudinal invariance. Design parameters are wire
diameter, coil diameter, height, number of turns
elastic modulus in X and Y direction, force. Simple
equation is proposed which gives value of
compressive stress of helical coil spring by carrying
out regression analysis done by M S excels, It is
observed that force and material property are
significant parameters which affect compressive
stress because their P value is 1. Relationship among
design parameters and compressive stress has been
obtained. In this analysis it is observed that coil
diameter increases stress on the the spring decreases.
Key Words: - Analysis by FEA and Response surface
modeling, Simulation.
I.INTRODUCTION
Spring act as a flexible joint in between two parts or
bodies. Spring is the energy storing and releasing element
whenever required. This paper demonstrates by taking
the combination of steel and composite material for design
of helical compression spring. In this case instead of steel
is used combination of steel and composite material Glass
fiber/Epoxy because of low stiffness of single composite
spring, which limits its application to light weight vehicle
only. Composite material is light weight and corrosion
resistance, it can withstand high temperature. It increase
efficiency of vehicle and overcome the cost. He had
concluded combination of steel and composite material
can increase the stiffness which is the major requirement
of regular vehicle due to higher weight this done by using
the FEA.[1].This study investigates static behavior of
helical structure under axial loads. In this paper, authors
have taken two helical structure first one is single wire on
which homogeneous theory applied and second is axial
elastic properties of seven wire strand are computed. This
approach, based on asymptotic expansion, gives the first-
order approximation of the 3D elasticity problem from the
solution of a 2D microscopic problem posed on the cross-
section and a 1D macroscopic problem, which turns out to
be a Navier–Bernoulli–Saint-Venant beam problem and
result compared with reference results.[2] This paper
researchers taken four composite material
(structure)these are unidirectional laminates (AU), rubber
core unidirectional laminates (UR), Unidirectional
laminates with braided outer layer (BU), and rubber core
unidirectional laminates with braided outer layer (BUR).
They investigated effect of rubber core and braided outer
layer on the mechanical properties of the above
mentioned helical springs. According to the experimental
results, the helical composite spring with a rubber core
can increase its failure load in compression by about 12%;
while the spring with a braided outer layer cannot only
increase its failure load in compression by about 18%, but
also improve the spring constant by approximately 16%.
[3]This study deals with the stress analysis of a helical coil
compression spring, which is employed in three wheeler’s
auto-rickshaw belonging to the medium segment of the
)ndian automotive market. This spring’s have to face very
high working stresses, so in this design of the spring both
the elastic characteristics and the fatigue strength have to
be considered as significant aspects. This done by using
finite element analysis. These springs have to face very
high working stresses. The structural reliability of the
spring must therefore be ensured. [4]The linear zed
disturbance equations governing the resonant frequencies
of a helical spring subjected to a static axial compressive
load are solved numerically using the transfer matrix
method for clamped ends and circular cross-section to
produce frequency design charts.This paper summarize
the behavior of the lowest resonant frequency obtained
from the model of a helical compression spring with an
initial number of turns.[5]In this paper, long term fatigue
test on shot peened compression spring were conducted
by means of special spring fatigue testing machine at 40
Hz. Three different types of material is taken and the
influence of different shot peening conditions were
investigated. In this paper fractured test spring were
