Question
The bumper springs of a railway carriage are to be made of square section wire. The ratio of mean
diameter of spring to the side of wire is nearly equal to 6. Two such springs are required to bring to rest
a carriage weighing 20 kN moving with a velocity of I.5 m/s with a maximum deflection of 200 mm.
Design the spring if the allowable shear stress is not to exced 300 MPa and G= 84 kN/mm?.
5.59 W.D'n
Ga
a = Side of the wire section,
2.4 W.D
For square wire,
; and & =
where
D = Mean diameter,
n = Number of coils, and
H = Load on each spring.
