1. A laminated steel spring, simply supported at the ends and centrally loaded, with a span of 75 cm is required to carry a proof load of 7.5 kN and the central deflection is not to exceed 5 cm. The bending stress must not be greater than 400 MN/m². Plates are available in mul- tiples of 1 mm for thickness and in multiples of 4 mm for width. Assuming width to be welve times the thickness and E = 200 GNm, determine suitable values for the thickness, width and number of plates and the radius to which the plates should be formed.

1. A laminated steel spring, simply supported at the ends and centrally loaded,
with a span of 75 cm is required to carry a proof load of 7.5 kN and the central deflection is not to
exceed 5 cm. The bending stress must not be greater than 400 MN/m². Plates are available in mul-
tiples of 1 mm for thickness and in multiples of 4 mm for width.
Assuming width to be twelve times the thickness and E = 200 GNA, determine suitable values for
the thickness, width and number of plates and the radius to which the plates should be formed.
