A full-elliptic leaf spring operates normally with a load that fluctuates between 100 and \(200 \mathrm{lb}\), but is to be designed for an overload that fluctuates between 100 and 300 lb. Total spring length is 24 in., \(h=0.1\) in., \(K_{f}=1.3\), and the steel to be used has \(S_{u}=180 \mathrm{ksi}, S_{y}=160 \mathrm{ksi}\), and \(S_{n}=80 \mathrm{ksi}\) (this figure pertains to the actual size and surface). (a) Determine the total width \(b\) required. (b) Show, on a \(\sigma_{m}-\sigma_{a}\) diagram the "operating points" for (1) machine turned off and spring supporting a static load of 100 lb only, (2) normal loads applied, and (3) design overloads applied. (c) Determine the spring rate.
A helical compression spring used for essentially static loading has \(d=0.100\) in., \(D=0.625\) in., \(N=8\), and squared and ground ends. It is made of ASTM A227 cold-drawn steel wire. (a) Compute the spring rate and the solid height. (b) Estimate the greatest load that can be applied without causing long-term permanent set in excess of 2 percent. (c) At what spring free length will the load determined in part (b) cause the spring to become solid?
Review the web site http://www.acxesspring.com. (a) List the common spring materials presented. (b) Which materials are listed as highly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement? (c) What processes are stated as causing hydrogen embrittlement?
Figure P12.58D shows a clip, one end of which is shaped like a mouth full of teeth. The clip utilizes a steel helical torsion spring to pinch the end of a toothpaste tube. A clamping force \(F=4.5 \mathrm{lb}\) is adequate for a regular size toothpaste tube \((\equiv 2\) in. wide). The mouth of the clip is about \(1.25 \mathrm{in}\). long and should open approximately \(45^{\circ}\) when clamping the rolled toothpaste tube. Determine the spring diameter \(D\) and the number of turns \(N\), and assume that \(d=1\)-mm-diameter wire is used. Assume that the spring can be manufactured in whole turns. If for fatigue endurance considerations we are not to exert more than a maximum stress of \(\sigma_{\max }=9000 \mathrm{MPa}\) to the spring, verify that the configuration does not exceed this stress for a full open position of \(70^{\circ}\). If the stress condition is not satisfied, suggest a way to reduce the maximum stress without essentially changing the clip design.
Review the web site http://www.leespring.com. Select a plastic composite compression spring with an outside diameter of approximately \(1.0\) in., a free length of \(1.00\) in., and a wire diameter of \(0.085\) in. What are the (a) "to work in hole diameter", (b) load at solid height, (c) spring rate, (d) solid height, and (e) total number of coils?
