A semi-elliptical spring has ten leaves in al, with the two full length leaves extending 625...
A close-coiled helical spring has a mean coil diameter 120 mm. A load of 4 kN causes a deflection of 50 mm and a maximum stress of 500 MPa. Calculate 4.1. a) The wire diameter b) The number of coils c) The energy absorbed when subjected to the maximum load d) The spring stiffness 4.2. By use of a clearly labelled neat sketch, show that the deflection in a close-coiled 12] where Wis ; where W is the axial load...
A laminated semi-elliptic leaf spring under a central load of 12 kN is to have an effective length of 1 m and is to deflect not more than 80 mm. The spring has 14 leaves, three of which are full length, and have been pre-stressed so that all leaves have the same stress after the full load has been applied. All leaves have the same width and thickness. The maximum stress in the leaves is not to exceed 350 MN/m2...
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
