Design of Laminated Torsion Bar Springs

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA083449 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report provides an analytical approach to the design of torsion leaf spring packs for use in cannon breech mechanisms, vehicle suspensions, etc. The design procedure presents an expeditious simple method for determining spring pack dimensions when parameters such as total required torque, spring pack angle of twist, free length of leaf spring, maximum tensile working stress, and maximum torsional working stress are known.
