Design, Fatigue Analysis, Physically-Loaded Helical Spring, SimulationAbstract
Mechanical springs are used in machine designs to exert force, provide flexibility and to store or absorb energy. Springs are manufactured for many different applications such as compression, extension, torsion, power, and constant force by changing the spring parameters such as mean coil diameter, wire diameter, spring constant, spring material,
pitch and free length. Here the function of these springs to store or absorb energy and compression application applied. This chapter will give an overview design, non-linear type simulation and safe fatigue for helical compression springs. We have considered the design of spring steel (51CrV4) and alloy Steel (ss) but fatigue test was performed on alloy steel (ss) at different load with the help of Solid works software (Version-2017). Absorption and subsequent release of the external loads comes in a form of elastic energy and, due to their material and design, springs tend to return to their initial length when unloaded.
