This paper addresses the results of an experimental and analytical research of cylindrical coil spring subjected to dynamic behavior. Transfer functions are presented for both deflection and transmitted force as the output with force as the input. Steady state sinusoidal magnitude ratio and transmittance are plotted along with experimental data. It is shown that dynamic characteristic of cylindrical coil spring must be used to enhance the reability of vibration system dynamic behavior analysis in actuating over some frequency.

The deformation of coil spring with noncircular section, which is used in the engine valve of automobiles under the applied load is usually accompanied by sectional warping and additional displacements of geometric center. In this study the isoparametric beam element formulations are modified and expanded to consider these two effects. To verify these formulations, simple torsion tests are made and compared with the analysis results. For the case of the zero-pitch spring, the stress distributions of oval and circular section are coincided with those of the analysis using the solid elements. Cylindrical coil springs with oval section are analyzed. These results are agreed with those of Nagaya.
