1. A proposed helical-coil compression spring is to be wound from standard unpeened music wire of 0.038-inch diameter, into a spring with outer coil diameter of inch and12 total turns from end-of-wire to end-of-wire. The ends are to be closed. Do the following: a. Estimate torsional yield strength of the music wire. b. Determine the…

1.A helical-coil compression spring is to be designed for a special application in which the spring is to be initially assembled in the mechanism with a preload of 10 N, and exert a force of 50 N when it is compressed an additional 140 mm. Tentatively, it has been decided to use music wire, to…

1. Two steel, helical-coil compression springs are to be nested around a common axial centerline. The outer spring is to have an inside diameter of 38 mm, a standard wire diameter of 2.8 mm, and 10 active coils. The inner spring is to have an outside diameter of 32 mm, a standard wire diameter of…

1.A round wire helical-coil tension spring has end loops of the type shown in Figures 14.7(a) and (b). The wire diameter of the spring is 0.042 inch, and the mean coil radius is 0.28 inch. Pertinent end-loop dimensions are riA 0.25 inch and riB 0.094 inch. An applied axial static tension force of F 5.0…

1. A conical compression spring is made from 3-mm diameter steel wire and has an active coil diameter that varies from 25 mm at the top to 50 mm at the bottom. The pitch (distance between coils) is throughout. There are four active coils. A force is applied to compress the spring and the stress…

1.A helical-coil spring is to be wound using wire made from a proprietary ferrous alloy for which , , , , , and . It is desired to use the spring in a cyclic loading situation where the axial load on the spring during each cycle ranges from 450-N tension to 450-N compression. The spring…

1.A multileaf simply supported truck spring is to be designed for each rear wheel, using AISI 1095 steel ( , , ). The truck weight is 16 kN, with 65 percent of the weight on the rear wheels. The static midspan deflection is 100 mm and the maximum midspan deflection during operation is 200 mm.…

1. Preliminary design calculations have suggested that design objectives may be met by a straight spur gearset using standard full-depth 2 -pitch involute gear teeth, and a 21-tooth pinion meshing with a 28-tooth gear. A 25 pressure angle has been selected for this application, and the gear teeth are to be shaved to AGMA quality…

1.A straight-tooth one-stage spur gear reducer has been used in a high-production home appliance for many years. The gear pair constitutes about one-half the $50 production cost of the appliance. Consumer complaints about gear noise have grown over the years and sales are declining. One young engineer has found data that suggest the noise level…
