India *Corresponding Author __________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The objective of this review paper is to provide the information about the fatigue stress for the helical compression spring. Springs are mechanical shock absorber system. A mechanical spring is defined as an elastic body which has the primary function to deflect or distort under load, and to return to its original shape when the load is removed. The researchers throughout the years had given various research methods such as Theoretical, Numerical and Experimental. Researchers employ the Theoretical, Numerical and FEM methods.This study concludes Finite Element method is the best method for numerical solution and calculating the fatigue stress, life cycle and shear stress of helical compression spring. Key words: Helical compression spring, Maximum shear stress, fatigue stress, fatigue life, Finite element method. __________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION A spring is defined as an elastic machine element, which deflects under the action of the load returns to its original shape when the load is removed [1]. Mechanical springs are used in machine designs to exert force, provide f
