Role of FEM in Spring Analysis

  • Chapter
FEM for Springs

Abstract

Generally speaking, the analytical approach for spring calculations has been fully developed. Further effort to bring about new calculation equations would not result in additional benefit. Therefore, it seems that only numerical analysis is left to us to improve the accuracy. There are many levels in the conventional analysis technique, and the necessity for selecting the appropriate formula is attributed to the limited area of application of each formula. We will examine the case of a helical compression spring.
