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.

The design of a torsion spring has been formulated, but it is difficult to determine the local behaviors of torsion springs according to actual load conditions. This study proposes a torsion-spring design method through finite element analysis (FEA) using nonuniform-rational-basis-spline (NURBS) curves. Through experimentation, the angle and displacement values for the actual spring load were converted into useable data. Torsion-spring displacement values were obtained via experimentation and converted into coordinates that may be expressed using NURBS curves. The results of these experiments were then compared to those obtained via FEA, and the validity of this method was thereby verified. Keywords: torsion springs; FEA; NURBS; applied load; local behaviors 1. Introduction Torsion springs transfer power through the twisting of their coil, and provide advantages such as module simplification, efficient use of space, and reduction of overall product weight.

  • Transverse Leaf Springs: a Corvette Controversy
    Transverse Leaf Springs: A Corvette Controversy By Matt Miller Introduction A lot of people give Corvettes flack because they employ leaf springs. The mere mention of leaf springs conjures up images of suspensions on horse-drawn buggies, old cars and trucks, and Harbor Freight utility trailers. Even magazine reviews of the latest Corvettes talk about how “antiquated” their leaf spring designs are, and many a Corvette enthusiast has converted his car to aftermarket coilovers in the belief that they are inherently better than the composite transverse leaf springs found on the front and rear suspensions of all Corvettes since 1984. But is that true? Does the Corvette’s use of transverse leaf springs mean it has an inferior, outdated suspension design? The short answer is “No!” To find out why, we’ll cover some basics on springs and suspensions and see how the facts add up. Page 1 What is a Spring, Anyway? We all intuitively know what springs are. But technically speaking, a spring is an elastic mechanical device that stores potential energy. When mechanical energy is put into a spring, it deforms and can release that energy back in the opposite direction. We measure a spring’s energy storage by its “spring rate,” which defines its energy storage. The spring rate defines the increase in force required to move the spring a certain amount. For example, if a spring has a rate of 100 lb/in (pounds per inch), it means that 100 lbs of force will move one end of it 1”, an additional 100 lbs will move it another inch, and so on.

    Article Effect of mass and center of gravity on vehicle speed and braking performance Jack Tian1 and Clifford Whitfield2 1 Troy High School, Fullerton, CA 2 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH SUMMARY to demonstrate the effect of changing CG position on vehicle The center of gravity (CG) of a vehicle is a key stability (1). Albeit with different purpose, this study formed parameter that helps determine vehicle stability, the basis of our hypothesis. Other vehicle parameters were braking efficiency, and safety. In a gravity vehicle, also informed by previous studies. For example, a study on the mass of the vehicle is also an important factor vehicle load found that an increase in CG height results in a in vehicle performance because it provides the sole decrease in maximum driving speed since stability decreases force of propulsion. We hypothesized that if a vehicle as CG height increases (2). Therefore, in order to minimize the adverse impact of the height of CG on vehicle stability, was constructed according to mathematically- the vehicle was designed to move as closely as possible derived optimal mass and CG location, then a fast to the ground. Skrucany et al. investigated the influence of and accurate vehicle would result. To test this cargo weight and its position on brakes. They demonstrated hypothesis, we constructed a gravity vehicle, which that loads should be as close to the ground and rear axle is a vehicle powered by its own gravity on a ramp. as possible to reduce the braking distance (3, 4).

  • Extension & Torsion Springs (Chapter
    Extension & Torsion Springs (Chapter 10) Extension Springs Extension springs are similar to compression springs within the body of the spring. To apply tensile loads, hooks are needed at the ends of the springs. Some common hook types: Fig. 10–5 Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design Normal Stress in the Hook vs. Shear Stress in Body In a typical hook, a critical stress location is at point A, where there is bending and axial loading. (K)A is a bending stress-correction factor for curvature Fig. 10–6 Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design Stress in the Hook Another potentially critical stress location is at point B, where there is primarily torsion. (K)B is a stress-correction factor for curvature. Fig. 10–6 Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design Close-wound Extension Springs Extension springs are often made with coils in contact with one another, called close-wound. Including some initial tension in close-wound springs helps hold the free length more accurately. The load-deflection curve is offset by this initial tension Fi Fig. 10–7 Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design Terminology of Extension Spring Dimensions The free length is measured inside the end hooks. The hooks contribute to the spring rate. This can be handled by obtaining an equivalent number of active coils.
