Lecture # 05

The lecture covered combination of springs, including springs in parallel and in series. Springs can be connected into a single equivalent spring. For springs in parallel, the equivalent spring constant is the sum of the individual spring constants. For springs in series, the reciprocal of the equivalent spring constant is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual spring constants. Examples were provided to show how to calculate the equivalent spring constant for suspension systems and propeller shafts modeled as combinations of springs.

Example 1.2 (Equivalent k of a Suspension System)

Figure below shows the suspension system of a freight


truck with a parallel-spring arrangement. Find the
equivalent spring constant of the suspension if each of
the three helical springs is made of steel with a shear
modulus G = 80 x 109 N/m2 and has five effective turns,
mean coil diameter D= 20cm, and wire diameter d= 2cm.
Solution:

Example 1.3 torsional spring constant of a propeller shaft.

Determine the torsional spring constant of the steel


propeller shaft shown in Fig. 1.30.
Solution:
We need to consider the segments

combination. From Fig. the torque
induced at any cross section of the

the propeller, T. Hence the
elasticities (springs) corresponding
to the two segments 12 and 23 are
to be considered as series springs.
The spring constants of segments 12
and 23 of the shaft ( and ) are given
