The document discusses the design and analysis of a helical compression spring for a shock absorber. It analyzes springs made of phosphor bronze, spring brass, and carbon steel. The analysis found that phosphor bronze had the highest deformation and energy storage capacity, making it best suited to absorb shocks compared to the other materials. Finite element analysis in ANSYS was used to simulate loads on the different spring designs and materials. The analysis concluded that phosphor bronze is the best material for the helical compression spring based on its shock absorbing capabilities.
