A cantilever, multiple-leaf spring similar to that in Fig. 4-12 is composed of five leaves 62 mm wide and 12 mm thick, and has a clear span to the point of application of the load of 500 mm. Assume that the shorter leaves are of the proper length and end taper to permit the spring to be approximated as a trapezoid. What static load will the spring support at a stress in the material of 400 MPa? What will be the deflection of the load?
