Comparison and Failure Analysis of Solid and Hollow Compression Helical Spring By FEA

Helical springs play a pivotal role in various engineering applications, ensuring controlled motion and stability in mechanical systems. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of solid and hollow compression helical springs using advanced numerical simulations conducted in ANSYS Software. The investigation encompasses geometric modeling, material characterization, finite element analysis (FEA) setup, parameter monitoring, and result analysis. Detailed 3D models of both solid and hollow springs are developed to accurately represent their geometric complexities. Material properties, including Young's Modulus and Poisson's Ratio, are precisely characterized. ANSYS Software is employed for FEA due to its capability to handle intricate geometry and loading conditions. Boundary conditions are defined to replicate real-world scenarios, with systematic variation of loads applied to cover a range of practical forces. Critical parameters, including buckling load, deflection behavior, and stress distribution, are closely monitored and analysed. The comparative study between solid and hollow springs reveals significant insights into their mechanical behavior. This research integrates prior literature to provide a holistic understanding of spring performance. By conducting numerical analysis, the findings provide a distinct perspective on the anticipation of failure and understanding the characteristics of materials employed in springs when subjected to static and dynamic loads. The results of this study provide engineers and designers with valuable insights for selecting the most suitable compression helical spring for specific applications. Practical recommendations based on the findings offer guidance for optimizing mechanical systems. This research contributes to the advancement of engineering knowledge and underscores the importance of ANSYS-based simulations in spring design and analysis.)
