This chapter studies the design of anisotropic helical and conical springs for automotive applications. Helical composite springs possess the form of a spiral with a circular cross‐section. The distance between the successive coils of a spring is a slowly varying function, such that the axis of the wire forms a helix with a constant or variable pitch and the anisotropic wire of spring is predominantly in a state of pure torsion. The spring could be additionally twisted along the axis of helix so that bending of the wire along the vertical axis happens. The design formulas for anisotropic helical springs are developed and the optimization problems are studied in closed form. Another frequently used kind of spring is the conical spring. The ring thickness is constant and the applied load is evenly distributed over the upper inside edge and lower outside edge. The structural models for anisotropic conical springs are developed and design formulas presented. Based on the analytical formulas, the optimization of conical springs made of composite materials is performed.
