Question 4A close-coiled helical spring is to have a stiffness of 90 kN/m and is to exert a maximum force of 3.7 kN. If the mean diameter of the coils is 80 mm, and the maximum stress is not to exceed 300 MPa, calculate the required number of coils and the diameter of the steel rod from which the spring should be made (G=80 GPa).
Determine the width and thickness of the leaves (in mm) of a leaf spring using the following specifications:
Total load = 140 kN;
Number of springs supporting the load = 4; Maximum number of leaves = 10;
Span of the spring = 1000 mm;
Permissible deflection = 80 mm;
Modulus of elasticity, E = 200 kN/mm2;
and allowable stress in spring material is 600 MPa.
