The objective of the research paper is to give analytical treatment to suspension spring used in Indian railways engine WAG-9 at Loco Shed Ajni,Nagpur,India,using CREO and ANSYS tool.This paper is extension part of previous paper entitled,”Study and problem identification for failure analysis of suspension springs of Indian railway engine WAG-9 Loco Shed Ajni,Nagpur, India.We are provided with official data regarding the design details of suspension spring.According to the design details provided by the railway officials we prepared the design of suspension spring using CREO paramateric.The structural analysis is used to perform various analysis on same structure by considering various material used for manufacturing of suspension spring. In order to carry out the analysis ,we have gone through the various research papers,websites of various spring manufacturing industries to find out the best possible material that will meet our objective.The static analysis is carried out with the help of Finite Element Method by using ANSYS 14.0. For dynamic analysis concern, it is not possible to measure random dynamic forces which causes the failure of suspension spring in running condition.As the damage is only detected by physical supervision by railway maintainance staff,we performed various structural analysis on different materials for assembly of suspension spring comprises of primary and secondary spring.Thus,we have performed static analysis on selected materials and the detailed information regarding the best possible material selection is suggested in this paper.
