Case Study of the Stress and Deformation in Spring Body as a Mechanical Dumping Element

The damping elements used in shock and vibration attenuation come in various shapes and sizes. However, one of the most common solutions being the spring shape, recent developments are using steel cable frames with beam-like behavior. The present paper is focused on the elementary strength of materials calculus concerning stress and deflection state versus finite element analysis results for a simple curve-shaped beam example.
