Question:

The figure is a drawing of a 4- by 20-mm latching spring. A preload is obtained during assembly by shimming under the bolts to obtain an estimated initial deflection of 2 mm. The latching operation itself requires an additional deflection of exactly 4 mm. The material is ground high-carbon steel, bent then hardened and tempered to a minimum hardness of 490 Bhn. The radius of the bend is 4 mm. Estimate the yield strength to be 90 percent of the ultimate strength.
(a) Find the maximum and minimum latching forces.
(b) Is it likely the spring will achieve infinitelife?
