Question: A single - bodied helical - coil torsion spring has a wire diameter of 1 mm and an outside coil diameter of 9 mm .
A singlebodied helicalcoil torsion spring has a wire diameter of mm and an outside coil diameter of mm The tightly coiled
spring has coils, with an end extension of from the coil center to the point of load application at each end. The spring material is a
steel alloy with MPa. Let GPa and
a Calculate the torsional spring rate for this spring. Neglect contribution of end extensions.
b If a torque N m were applied, what angular deflection in degrees would be expected? Neglect contribution of end extensions.
c What is the value of the maximum stress in the spring wire under the static torque? Obtain the static factor of safety.
d If a design safety factor of based on minimum ultimate tensile strength, is desired, would the spring design be acceptable? Compare
with your answers from part c
eoptional part, no extra credit, fair game for exam If the applied moment fluctuates between Nm and Nm determine the factor
of safety against fatigue. Use a fatigue life of one million cycles, and nonshot peened ASTM A steel for fatigue date. The Goodman
fatigue criterion is to be used for this part, with endurance limits defined from a repeated bending test.
