Abstract Helical spring is used as primary suspension to absorb shock and vibration in rail vehicle system which calls for investigation under failure response because of different loading conditions. This paper is based on the categorical literature review on case study of failure response of suspension spring of railroad vehicle. Here, the investigation of a multibody framework approach is introduced that can be utilized to create complex model of railroad vehicle suspension system. The literature presented encounters results in various domains of analysis including static and dynamic analytical analysis, experimental investigation, dynamic model and finite element analysis for its failure study and examination. It has been observed that the stress may initiate at the inside diameter of spring due to curvature effect during manufacturing occurs residual stress. Also, it induces due to lateral and longitudinal load due to curving and tracking of the rail vehicle system.

Introduction Railway vehicles are among the most broadly utilized techniques for shipping travelers and products [1]. Indian railway is widely spread across country hauling passengers and goods for the very large distances and running for 3– 4 days continuously. The rail road vehicle is one of the most complex dynamic systems. An assembly of dynamics model of railway vehicle is carried out from wheelsets, car bodies and intermediate structures which are flexible, and which are connected by segments, for example, springs and dampers [2]. An Indian railway vehicle is shown in Fig. 1. Suspensions are the significant machine component of railway vehicle which retain the stock and vibration during tracking, curving and furthermore secure the axle motion. The helical compression sort of spring is utilized to permit axial deformation and furthermore give some horizontal twisting at ebb and flow. A cargo rail vehicle has the regular failure of primary suspension with real accentuation on the failure of composite spring of middle axle of the two casings. A suspension spring is normally viewed as static if an adjustment in deflection or load happens j
