The rear spring of an automobile has 9 leaves, each with an average thickness of 0 and a width of 2 in.; material is SAE 9261, OQT 1000°F. The length of the spring is 56 he total weight on the spring is 1300 lb. Assume the spring to have the form shown in F b), Text. Determine (a) the rate of the spring, (b) the maximum stress caused by th weight. (c) What approximate repeated maximum force (0 to Fmax) would cause imp atigue in 105 cycles, the number of applications of the maximum load expected dur ordinary life of a car? (If the leaves are cold rolled to induce a residual compressive st he surfaces, the endurance limit as Su/2 should be conservative)

2. The rear spring of an automobile has 9 leaves, each with an average thickness of 0.242 in.
and a width of 2 in.; material is SAE 9261, OQT 1000°F. The length of the spring is 56 in. and
the total weight on the spring is 1300 lb. Assume the spring to have the form shown in Fig. 6.22
(b), Text. Determine (a) the rate of the spring, (b) the maximum stress caused by the dead
weight. (c) What approximate repeated maximum force (0 to Fmax) would cause impending
fatigue in 105 cycles, the number of applications of the maximum load expected during the
ordinary life of a car? (If the leaves are cold rolled to induce a residual compressive stress on
the surfaces, the endurance limit as Su/2 should be conservative.)
