Design an infinite-life helical coil extension spring with full end loops and generous loop-bend radii for...
A helical extension spring has an end similar to that shown in Figure 1. The important information for the springs ends are: The wire gauge is US steel #19. The mean diameter of the spring is Dm 0.28 inches. · The mean diameter of the end loop is R1 =0.25 inches The mean radius of the bend from the coil to the end loop is R2 0.094 inches. 1. What are the expected stresses at points A and B for...
2) [40 pts] Extension Spring Design A hard-drawn spring steel extension spring is to be designed to carry a static load F of 18 lbf with an extension of 1/2 in using a design factor of n = 1.5 in bending. Use full-coil end hooks with the fullest bend radius of r = D/2 and r2 = 2d. The free length must be less than 3 in, and the body turns must be fewer than 30. (Note: Integer and half-integer...
