A helical spring is provided with a rigid plate at each end. A bolt passes through the spring and the end plates. By turning the nut, the spring is compressed until the coils touch. The height of the unloaded spring is 600 mm, its mean coil diameter is 100 mm and the diameter of the spring wire is 28 mm. The spring has 18 coils. The diameter of the bolt is 25 mm and the plates are each 25 mm thick. Calculate the elongation of the bolt when the spring is fully compressed as well as the stress in the spring wire (take E = 200 GPa and G = 80 GPa).

A semi-elliptic multi-leaf spring is used for the suspension of the rear axle of a truck. It consists of two extra full-length leaves and ten graduated-length leaves including the master leaf. The centre-to-centre distance between the spring eyes is 1.2 m. The leaves are made of steel 55S12M090 (S N/mm) and the factor of safety is 2.5. The spring is to be designed for a maximum force of 30 KN. The leaves are pre-stressed so as to equalize stressds in all leaves.
