Load In vehicle suspension design it is desirable to minimize the mass of all components. You have been asked to select a material and dimensions for a light spring to replace the steel leaf-spring of an existing truck suspension. The existing leaf-spring is a beam, shown schematically in the figure. The new spring must have the same length L and stiffness k as the existing one, and must deflect through a maximum safe displacement &max without failure. The width b and thickness t are free variables. Use the index you derive to rank the following candidate material for this application using data from Appendix A: High carbon steel, low alloy steel, titanium alloys and CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced epoxy). L HINT: Derive a material index for the selection of a material for this application. Note that this is a problem with two free variables: b and t; and there are two constraints, one on safe deflection Smax and the other on stiffness k. Use the two constraints to fix the values of the free variables.

A helical compression spring is needed to fit over a 0.5 in. diameter rod. To allow for some clearance, the inside diameter of the spring is to be 0.6 in. To ensure a reasonable spring size, assume a spring index of 10. The spring is to be used in a machine where it will be repeatedly compressed from a free length of 5 in. to its solid length of 2 in. and then released. The spring should have squared and ground ends and is to be made from a cold-drawn A227 wire. (a) Determine a suitable wire diameter. (b) Determine a suitable total number of coils. (c) Determine the spring rate. (d) Where is the maximum stress in the wire of the spring? (e) Determine the static factor of safety when compressed to its solid length. (f) If the spring is to be designed for infinite life, what will be the mean stress and alternating stress on the spring. (g) Calculate the weight of the spring.
