STATIC ANALYSIS OF HELICAL COMPRESSION SPRING

Abstract

A spring is a flexible element used to exert a force or a torque and, at the same time, to store the energy. The force can be a linear push or pull, or it can be radial, acting similarly to a rubber band around a roll of drawings. The spring which is considered in the paper is a part of automobile horn, where the horn is used for maintain safe distance and it is subjected to varying load. The spring is analyzed through analytical and finite element method to check the variation in the deformation value as well as maximum shear stress value. By the results of ANSYS it is observed that analytical results and finite element method results are within the acceptable range.
