Analysis of Helical Suspension Spring for Different Material Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

There is tough competition in the automobile industry to reduce the weight and optimize the characteristics of suspension system. In this paper discussion about analysis of helical suspension spring carried out. Helical suspension spring analyzed for different material like steel, carbon fiber composite, Kevlar fiber composite. To get the higher stiffness to weight ratio composite material are used. Spring Geometry is modeled in CATIA software and another hand it is analyzed in ANSYS Workbench under different loading condition.
