Analysis of the First Natural Frequency of Cylindrical Compression Springs
Cylindrical compression springs are elastic components that are often subject to dynamic loading. When a spring system is subjected to external vibrations or high-frequency-periodic forces (e.g. automotive suspensions, robotics, machinery, metrology, if the excitation frequency matches the natural frequency of the system, resonance occurs. This can lead to excessive oscillations, potential failure, and system instability. Understanding the natural frequency helps predict the reliability of the spring system.
