The influence of the dimensions can be illustrated best by using the single side fixed beam model <xr id="fig:Oneside_fixed_contact_bending_spring"/><!--(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 σ<sub>max</sub> 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.
 
:$\times_{max} = \frac{2 \cdot L^2}{3 \cdot D \cdot E}R_{p0,2}$
 
 
<br />and/or<br />
 
:$F_{max} = \frac{B \cdot D^2}{6L}R_{p0,2}$
