Question

A mechanism used in printing machinery consists of a tension spring assembled with a preload of 40 N. The mean diameter of the coilis 32 mm with a spring index of 8. The spring has 18 active coils. The spring wire is hard drawn and oil tempered having the following material properties:

a.Design shear stress = 700 MPb

b. .Modulus of rigidity = 80 kN/mm2

Identify  (a) the initial torsional shear stress in the wire, (b) the spring rate, and (c) the force to cause the body of the spring to reach its yield strength.
