Finite Element Analysis of Rectangular Cross Section Spring Washer

Abstract

 Helical spring washers are very common in industrial assembly of components subjected to dynamic conditions. They are used to prevent the loosening of nut and bolt assemblies. Due to the typical loading conditions the analysis of these washers requires a treatment other than that laid down for springs. Various national and international standards cover such washers in terms of dimensional parameters and testing methods. The available literature and standards do not cover the load-deformation analysis of helical spring washers. Here, an attempt has been made to understand the their load-deformation behavior using finite element analysis. A special test rig was designed and developed to obtain the actual load-deflection characteristics of the washer. A comparison of the results obtained through both the approaches is given in this paper.
