This document is an assignment to design a spring for the suspension of a KTM DUKE 200 sports bike. It provides data on the bike model, engine specifications, dimensions, and assumptions made. Calculations are shown to determine the reaction forces and moments on the spring given the engine mass and two riders totaling 140kg. Two spring designs are considered, one with stainless steel and 15mm wire diameter, and another with structural steel and 17mm diameter. The second design is found to have lower deflection and stresses for the same number of coils. Changing the material and dimensions is concluded to optimize the mass and performance of the spring.

Design of spring for suspension of sports bike

Problem Description- The main focus to design the spring of


sports bike is to achieve more stability. In sports bike the chassis and
parts all are designed in under Aerodynamics. If deflection is more in
spring the stability of bike is decreased. So, we have to make design of
spring under the comfort region and fulfilling all the requirements, and
specially focus on numbers of turns of the spring.

GIVEN DATA-
Model - KTM DUKE 200
Engine type- Single Cylinder, 4 VALVES, DOHC
Max Power- 25 PS @ 10,000 rpm
Fuel Supply- Fuel Injection
Cooling System- Liquid Cooled
Fuel capacity-13.5L

KTM DUKE 200
Wheel Base-1367mm
Dry weight-151 kg
Rear suspension- WP-Monoshock
Type-Coil Spring
Wire diameter-15
Mean coil diameter-90
Mass of the Engine- 60kg
Distance between engine and suspension- 40 cm

ASSUME DATA:
Weight of TWO person-(70+70) kg=140kg
Modulus of rigidity(G)-77200 N/mm2(Stainless steel)
Deflection – 40mm

Design procedure:
• Calculate the helical compression spring subjected to a maximum
force(P)
• Spring index
• Calculate the Number of Coils
• Calculate the Various Length
• Calculate the Spring Rate
• Actual deflection
• Calculate the Pitch

CALCULATONS:
According to the data of sports bike, firstly we rearrange all the forces
and calculate the reaction forces
➢ In first we equate the all forces, then find the moment around RR

Now, we are finding all the calculation of coil spring step by step:
Given Data:
P=2366N, d=15, D=90, C=6, G=77200 (Stainless steel), Deflection=40mm (Max)

Changes in Material and Dimensions for performance Improvement:
P=2366N, d=17, D=90, C=5.3, N=11(same no of turns)
G=79300(Structural steel), Deflection=40mm (Max)

Design calculations for the selected Material and Dimensions:


In this we mainly focus on the wire diameter and deflection and other
conditions are same.

Result comparison and discussion:

PARAMETER DESIGN 1 DESIGN 2


Material Stainless steel Structural steel
Modulus of rigidity 77200 79300
Wire diameter 15 17
Deflection 34 23
Free length 246 256
Pitch 20.5 21.33

Here we observe all the data of design 1 and design 2, after changing one
factor the wire diameter, the deflection and other factors are changing.

Conclusion:
• Higher wire diameter (17mm) deflection & stresses are observed to be
lesser than smaller diameter (15mm) for same material, hence
recommended using 17mm wire spring for current two-wheeler.

• In future, DOE can be done to optimize the mass & other parameter by
changing material to composite & changing geometric parameters.
