Based on the stiffness theory of wave spring, this paper proposes the wave springs made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) and investigates the effect of the number of periods on the GFRP wave springs’ stiffness and frequency response characteristics. First of all, five different periods of composite wave springs which have identical outside dimensions are designed. Afterwards, the load-displacement curves of the GFRP wave springs are obtained using a combination of experimental and finite element analysis (FEA). Finally, the frequency response characteristics of the GFRP wave springs are measured using a force hammer excitation, and the experiment results of a GFRP wave spring are compared with a metal helical spring. The results show that the stiffness of the GFRP wave spring decreases from 34.84 N/mm to 20.59 N/mm with the increase in the number of periods. As the number of periods increases, the vibration attenuation increases from 16.32 dB to 69.17 dB. The stiffness of the GFRP wave spring is increased by 90.30% and the weight is reduced by 26.78%. The vibration isolation interval and vibration attenuation amplitude of the GFRP wave spring are higher than the metal helical spring.

“…Commercial CAD software is used in work on analyzing the properties of springs with relatively simple geometries (Gu et al, 2020;Rahul & Rameshkumar, 2021;Arshad et al, 2022), since it has limited capabilities for shaping the geometry of helical springs and usually allows only the control of selected parameters within an arbitrarily imposed spring scheme, most often in accordance with EN 13906-1:2013 standard. Other studies that used CAD software with such limitations include (Chandravanshi & Mukhopadhyay, 2017;Gzal et al, 2017;Nazir et al, 2020;Sahu et al, 2022). Commercial spreadsheet-based engineering software can also be used for the design and analysis of such springs (Schorcht et al, 1998;Liberman, 2006;Meissner & Schorcht, 2007).…”

“…Such an approach makes it possible, among other things, to build a spring with a progressive pitch, varying over the entire height of the spring. Previous studies relied heavily on the limited tools available in commercial CAD software for spring geometry creation (Chandravanshi & Mukhopadhyay, 2017;Gzal et al, 2017;Nazir et al, 2020;Sahu et al, 2022). Because of the limited design features, creation of intricate helical spring geometry was based on simple CAD features such as extrude, sweep, revolve, and spline.…”

This paper presents a new method for generating nonlinear helical spring geometries based on a rigorous mathematical formulation. The model was developed for two scenarios for modifying a spring with a stepped helix angle: for a fixed helix angle of the active coils and for a fixed overall height of the spring. It allows the development of compression spring geometries with non-linear load-deflection curves, while maintaining predetermined values of selected geometrical parameters such as the number of passive and active coils and the total height or helix angle of the linear segment of the active coils. Based on the proposed models, Python scripts were developed that can be implemented in any CAD software offering scripting capabilities or equipped with Application Programming Interfaces. Examples of scripts that use the developed model to generate the geometry of selected springs are presented. FEM analyses of quasi-static compression tests carried out for these spring models have shown that, using the proposed tools, springs with a wide range of variation in static load-deflection curves can be obtained, including progressive springs with a high degree of nonlinearity in the characteristics. The obtained load-deflection curves can be described with a high degree of accuracy by power function. The proposed method can find applications in both machine design and spring manufacturing.
