Free Vibration Analysis of Two Types of Conical Springs

Abstract:

In this paper, a free vibration analysis of two types of conical springs is presented by using ANSYS software. The APDL programming is employed for the finite element modeling. Two types of conical springs, such as constant pitch and constant pitch angle, which are not distinguished in previous researches, are investigated. The results suggest that the two types of conical springs should be distinguishable in the dynamic applications.
