6.4.7 Contact Spring Calculations
The influence of the dimensions can be illustrated best by using the single side fixed beam model Figure 1 (Fig. 6.20). For small deflections the following equation is valid:
- $F = \frac{3 \cdot E \cdot J}{L^3} $
where J is the momentum of inertia of the rectangular cross section of the beam
- $J = \frac{B \cdot D^3}{12}$
For springs with a circular cross-sectional area the momentum of inertia is
- $J=\pi D^4/64$
- $D= Durchmesser$
To avoid plastic deformation of the spring the max bending force σmax cannot be exceeded
- $\sigma_{max} = \frac{3 \cdot E \cdot D}{2L^2}\cdot_{max}$
The stress limit is defined through the fatigue limit and the 0.2% elongation limit resp.
- $\times_{max} = \frac{2 \cdot L^2}{3 \cdot D \cdot E}R_{p0,2}$
and/or
- $F_{max} = \frac{B \cdot D^2}{6L}R_{p0,2}$
- Triangular spring
- $ \times = \frac{F}{2 \cdot E \cdot J}L^3$
- $= \frac{6 \cdot F}{E \cdot B}\cdot \frac{L^3}{D^3}$
- $\sigma_{max}= \frac{18 \cdot F \cdot L}{B \cdot D^2}$
- Trapezoidal spring
- $ \times = \frac{F}{(2 + B_{min} /B_{max})}\times \frac{L^3}{E \cdot J}$
- $\times= \frac{12 \cdot F}{(2 + B_{min} /B_{max})}\cdot \frac{L^3}{E \cdot B \cdot D^3}$
- $\sigma_{max}= \frac{18 \cdot F \cdot L}{(2 + B_{min} /B_{max}) \cdot B_{max} \cdot D^2 }$
