Seatwork # F2- MD1

1. The front spring of an automobile has a total of 9 ½ coils, 7 3/8 active coils
(square-and-ground ends), an inside diameter of 4 3/64 in., and a free length of
14 ¼ in. It is made of SAE 9255 steel wire, OQT 1000 oF, with a diameter of
43/64 in. Compute (a) the rate (scale) of the spring; (b) the “solid stress”.

2. A compression coil spring made of an alloy steel is having the following


specifications : Mean diameter of coil = 50 mm ; Wire diameter = 5 mm ; Number
of active coils = 20. If this spring is subjected to an axial load of 500 N ; calculate
the maximum shear stress to which the spring material is subjected.

3. A helical spring is made from a wire of 6 mm diameter and has outside diameter
of 75 mm. If the permissible shear stress is 350 MPa and modulus of rigidity 84
kN/mm2, find the axial load which the spring can carry and the deflection per
active turn.

4. Design a helical compression spring for a maximum load of 1000 N for a


deflection of 25 mm using the value of spring index as 5. The maximum
permissible shear stress for spring wire is 420 MPa and modulus of rigidity is 84
kN/mm2. Find a.) Mean diameter of the spring coil, b.) Number of turns of the
coils, c.) Free length of the spring, d.) Pitch of the coil

5. A truck spring has 12 number of leaves, two of which are full length leaves. The
spring supports are 1.05 m apart and the central band is 85 mm wide. The entral
load is to be 5.4 kN with a permissible stress of 280 MPa. Determine the
thickness and width of the steel spring leaves. The ratio of the total depth to the
width of the spring is 3. Also determine the deflection of the spring. Taking E =
10 × 103 N/mm2
