Simulation results of models with or without transition region.
| | Group | The radius of the transition region (mm) | Simulation results (mm) | Stiffness (N/mm) | Relative error |
| | Mono-leaf spring | Without transition region | | 54.38 | | | 6010 | | 54.86 | 0.88% |
| | Double-leaf spring | Without transition region | | 132.98 | | Main spring 2600
Auxiliary spring 500 | | 133.29 | 0.23% |
