Stress Analysis of Square and Rectangular Cross Section Helical Spring

Authors(2) :-Ashish M. Choube, Dr. R. U. Sambhe

Springs are nothing but the elastic body which deflects when loaded and comes back in its original shape when load removed. It has wide range of an applications, mainly used in automobile sector, in brakes and clutches, in watches, toys etc. The cross sections of spring may be circular, square or rectangular. When load is applied on spring, it will deflect and shear stresses will be generated. If the length of spring is higher, spring may buckle also. This article deals with analysis of square and rectangular cross section helical spring using FE approach and validated with analytical equations. Here, free length of spring is also changed to observe effect of shear stresses in square and rectangular cross section of spring.
