Minimum-weight springs

Year: 1968

Type: article

Abstract: Springs are considered as energy accumulators.Efficient load-deflection curves and ways of obtaining them are shown.The resilience of different materials in different modes of stressing and methods of increasing the apparent resilience are discussed.Formulas are given for the design of torsion bars with rectangular cross section and of coil springs with egg-shaped cross section, which are very efficient springs.
