The significant dynamic responses of helical springs are widely reported as the main reason causing pre-failure in various high-speed conditions. Though the concept of nonlinear springs is proposed to reduce their own dynamic responses, they are found to induce unexpected spike forces during operations. This study presents a dual springs system used within high-speed sports car engines, which aims to mitigate the dynamic responses and spike forces. Analytical models are first developed to calculate the fundamental frequencies of the outer and the inner springs of the system. Then, a transient finite element (FE) model is developed to accurately simulate the dual springs system working at various high engine speeds and validated experimentally by the results of the engine head tests. The simulations reveal that the use of dual springs with different natural frequencies can mitigate the dynamic responses of the whole system to a certain extent. Nevertheless, it is still a compromise as coil clash occurs on each isolated spring though the effects are reduced. The findings of this study indicate that the establishment of direct connections between every component spring would be a promising way to better mitigate the dynamic responses including the effects of coil clash.
