SPRINGS

This document discusses concepts related to springs and coils. It defines key terms like: 1) Mean diameter (Dm) as the average of the inside diameter (Di) and outside diameter (Do) of a coil. 2) Length of a coil (Lc) as being related to the number of coils (Nc), pitch (p), and mean diameter (Dm). 3) Factors that determine the total shear stress, deformation, spring constant, and direct shear for springs. These include things like wire diameter, number of coils, pitch angle, and material properties.
