Question
A locomotive semi-elliptical laminated spring has an overall length of 1.5 m and
sustains a load of 85 KN at its center. The spring has 4 full length leaves and 11
graduated leaves with a central band of 102 mm width. All the leaves are to be
stressed to 460 MPa, when fully loaded.The ratio of the total spring depth to that of
width is 3. E = 210 KN/mm^2. Determine
1. The thickness and width of the leaves. *
2. The initial gap that should be provided between the full length and graduated
leaves before the band load is applied.
3. The load exerted on the band after the spring is assembled
