Abstract
An FRP sulcated spring, which has a different structure from a conventional one, utilises FRPs advantages to a great extent and consequently possesses many excellent characteristics. This paper describes the mechanical design of a sulcated spring and investigates its static and dynamic characteristics by means of the comparison of calculated and experimental results; at the same time its fatigue resistance characteristics were also studied.
