A locomotive semi-elliptical laminated spring has an overall length of 1 m and sustains a load of 70 kN at its center. The spring has 3 full length leaves and 15 graduated leaves with a central band of 100 mm width. All the leaves are to be stressed to 400 MPa, when fully loaded. The ratio of the total spring depth to that of width is 2. E = 210 kN/mm2. Determine the thickness and width of the leaves
