QUESTIONS
  1. What are leaf springs? Desive an expression for maximum bending stress for quarter-elliptic leaf springs.
  2. Distinguish between close-coiled and open-coiled helical springs. Compare their deformation when both are subjected to an axial load.
  3. What are buffer springs? Give their field applications.
  4. Derive an expression for strain energy stored by a close-coiled helical spring subjected to axial thrust.
  5. A leaf spring 750 mm long is required to carry a central load of 8 kN. If the central deflection is not to exceed 20 mm and the bending stress is not to be greater than 200 N/mm2, determine the thickness, width and number of plates. Assume the width of the plates is 12 times, their thickness and modulus of elasticity of the springs material ...
