Question
A locomotive semi-elliptical laminated spring has
an overall length of 1.3 m and sustains a load of
78 KN at its center. The spring has 2 full length
leaves and 10 graduated leaves with a central
band of 105 mm width. All the leaves are to be
stressed to 455 MPa, when fully loaded.The ratio
of the total spring depth to that of width is 4, E =
210 KN/mm^2. Determine :
1. The thickness and width othi
the leaves. *
t = 16.987 mm,
b = 64.90 mm
t = 18.965 mm , b 63.35 mm
O t= 20.44 mm,
b = 61.32 mm
2. The initial gap that shoulde
be provided between the full
length and graduated leaves
before the band load is
applied *
C = 12.61 mm
C = 15.36 mm
C = 14.03 mm
