The design of driving on bumping road condition. The prime front and rear suspension of a car may be moto of this paper is to model and analyze the differentia coil spring, also known as a helical performance of shock absorber by changing the spring, is a mechanical device which is typically wire diameter and material of the coil spring. The used to store energy and subsequently release it, to shock absorbers duty is to absorb or dissipate absorb shocks, or to maintain a force between energy. It reduces the effect of travelling over contacting surfaces. They are made of an elastic rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and material formed into the shape of as helix which increase in comfort due to substantially reduced returns to its natural length when unloaded. Under amplitude of disturbance. When a vehicle is riding tension or compression, the material of a coil on a level road and the wheels strikes a bump, then spring undergoes torsion. The spring characteristics the spring compressed quickly. The compressed therefore depend only on its shears modulus not on spring will regain its original length and causing its young’s modulus. the body to be lifted. Then the weight of vehicle will A coil spring may also be used as a torsion then push the spring down below its normal loaded spring in this case the spring as a whole is height. This in turns causes the spring to rebound subjected to torsion about its helical axis. The again. This process occurs over and over by each material of the spring is thereby subjected to a time, until the up and down movement stops. bending moment, either reducing or increasing the Hence, the spring design in a suspension system is helical radius. In this mode, it is the young’s utmost crucial. The analysis is performed by modulus of the material. Some types of coil spring considering the mass of Hybrid vehicle car and are tension or extension spring, compression coil with person seated on it. This Hybrid vehicle car is spring, volute spring, and Torsion spring. The made by our team for a challenge organized by tension coil springs, are designed to resist Imperial Society of Innovative Engineers stretching. They are usually having a hook or eye (ISIE).The comparison is done by changing the form at the each end for attachment. The wire diameter of the coil spring to check the best compression coil spring, are designed to resist dimension for the spring in shock absorber. being compressed. A typical use for compression Keywords: Shock Absorber, Helical Spring, coil springs is in car suspension system. The Volute Deflection, Analysis, Creo Parametric 3.0, ANSYS springs are used as heavy load compression Workbench 14.5 springs. A strip of plate is rolled into the shape of both helix and a spiral. When compressed, the strip I.INTRODUCTION is stiffer edge on than a wire coil, but the spiral arrangement allows the turns to overlap rather than bottoming out an each other. The torsion spring, Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, are designed to resist the twisting actions. Often springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects associated to clothes pegs or up and over garage a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion doors. Creo is a family of design software between the two. This system us support both road supporting product design for discrete holding or handling and ride quality, which are at manufacturers and is developed by PTC. The suite odds with each other. The tuning suspension consist of apps, each delivers a distinct set of involves finding the right compromise. It is capabilities for a user role within product important for the for the suspension to keep the development. It runs on Microsoft Windows and road wheels in contact with the road surface as provides application for 3D CAD parametric much as possible, because all the road or ground features solid modeling, 3D Direct modeling, 2D forces acting on the vehicle do so through the orthographical Views, Finite Element Analysis and contact patches of the vehicle itself and any cargo its Simulation, Schematic Design, Technical Imperial Journal of Interdisciplinary Research (IJIR) Page 1421 Imperial Journal of Interdisciplinary Research (IJIR) Vol-3, Issue-4, 2017 ISSN: 2454-1362, http://www.onlinejournal.in Illustrations, and Viewing and Visualizing.Creo individual elements to the linked system. When the elements and Creo parametric compete directly effects of loads and boundary conditions are with CATIA, Siemens NX/Solid edge and Solid considered, a set of linear or nonlinear algebraic works. The creo suite of application replaces and equations is usually obtained.

The continuum has an many software package solutions and features.

Spring Model car, a lot of technical papers and journals were studied. The following list presents the grids of main papers which are referred throughout the project duration. K.Vinay Kumar et.al [1] used three different materials like alloy steel, chromium vanadium steel; stainless steel was used with a constant load of 850N. Among the above materials alloy steel material gave the better stress and deformation values. Mostly prefer alloy steel Fig 2. Spring with Shock Absorber material for bike suspension spring due it its material stability and ductility by observing those Many problems in engineering and analysis stress and deformation values. Alloy steel applied science are governed by differential or material is staying stable up to load 2550N. Later, integral equations. The solutions to these equations by increasing loads the stress was crossing the would provide an exact, closed form solution to the yield strength of the material due to that the particular problem being studied. However, breaking of spring will be takes place. Therefore, complexities in the geometry, properties and in the from the above practical result alloy steel material boundary conditions that are seen in most real is more stable and gives good efficiency compared world problems usually means that an exact to other two materials. solution cannot be obtained in a reasonable amount of time.
