Assumptions:-
Let
F =Load
M =Applied bending moment, N –mm
e = distance from the centroidal axis to the neutral
axis, measured towards centre of curvature, mm
Ci = distance from neutral axis to inner fiber
(radius) mm
Co = distance from neutral axis to outer
fiber (radius) mm.
Ri = inner radius of curvature, mm
Ro = outer radius of curvature, mm
Rn = Radius of neutral axis, mm
R (Rc) = Radius of centroidal axis, mm
A = area of section, mm2
σi = Stress in the inner fiber, N/mm2
σo = Stress in the outer fiber, N/mm2
Load on the strip having the thickness ‘dy’ & the cross-
section dA is given by
σ = dF or dF = σ dA
dA
i.e., dF = + E y dθ . dA
(Rn + y)θ
Now applying the condition of equilibrium (i.e.,
summation of forces over the whole cross-section is
zero).
i.e.,
∫dF = 0
Mb = Edθ ∫ y dA
θ
Since ∫y.dA represents the moment of area, it may be
replaced by A.e, i.e., the product it may be reduced by
A.e , i.e., the product of total area A and the distance ‘e’
from the centroidal axis to the neutral axis.
Mb = E dθ .A.e (3)
θ
Or E dθ/θ = Mb/Ae from eqn (1)
Edθ = +σ (RN+y)
θ
On comparing we get,
Mb = +σ (RN+y)
Ae y
Or
σ = +Mb.y Eqn 10.1/pg 132
(RN+y)Ae
This is the general equation for the stress in a fiber at a
distance ‘y’ from the neutral axis.

Given data:- d = 30mm; Rc = 50mm; σRi = 40 N/mm2
From the figure; Ri = Rc – (d/2) = 50 - 15 =35mm
RO = Rc + (d/2) = 50 + 15 =65mm
C1 = C2 = d/2 = 15 mm.
From DDHB; table 10.1/pg 134; for circular c/s
RN = ½ C2 = ½ (152)
R – √ R2 – C 2 50 – √ 502 – 152
RN = 48.85mm
e = Rc – RN = 50 – 48.85 = 1.15mm
Ci = C1 – e = 15 – 1.15 = 13.85mm
CO = C2 + e = 15 + 1.15 = 16.15mm
Area of cross-section: A = π d2/4 = π302/4 = 707.14mm2
Bending moment : M = F × Rc = f × 50 = 50F N-mm
Total stress = Direct stress + Bending stress at inner fiber
= F/A + MbCi/AeRi
40 = F/707.14 + 50F × 13.85/707.14 × 1.15× 35
On solving for ‘F’ we get F = 1556.42 N
To find RN;-
From table 10.1 /pg 136
RN = A
B ln R + d – C1 + a ln R + C2
R – C1 R + d + C2
Again RN = A
B ln Ri– C1 + a ln RO
Ri RO + d
Because R – C1 = Ri & R + C2 = RO
A = area of cross-section = 80 × 40 + 100 × 40
= 7200mm2
RN = 7200
80 ln 80 + 40 + 40 ln 220
80 80 + 40
RN = 127.02mm
e = RC – RN = 138.88 – 127.02 = 11.85mm
Bending moment : Mb = F × (Rc + l) = F(138.88 + 200)
Mb = 338.88F
Total stress = σRi =F/A + MbCi/AeRi
Ci = C1 – e = 58.88 – 11.85 = 47.03mm

60mm.
Soln:-
Given data:-
Ri = 30mm
RO = 30 + 25 = 55mm
RC = 30 + 25/2 = 42.5mm
RN = ( √RO + √Ri ) 2 /4 ---- for circular c/s
= ( √55 + √30 )2 /4 = 41.51mm
e = Rc – RN = 42.5 – 41.51 = 0.99mm
Ci = RN – Ri = 41.51 – 30 = 11.51mm
CO = RO + RN = 55 – 41.51 = 13.49mm
A = π × d2/4 = 491.07mm2
Bending moment:
Mb = 0.318 F RC
= 0.318 × 6500 × 42.5

Helical springs are made of wire coiled in the form of helix and are primarily intended for
compressive or tensile loads. The cross-section of the wire from which the spring is made may be
circular, square or rectangular. The two forms of helical springs are compression helical spring and
tension helical spring as shown in figure.
o
Helical springs are said to be closely coiled, when the helix angle is very small (< 10 ), where
as in open coil helical spring the helix angle is large.
Advantages.
a) These springs are easy to manufacture.
b) They are available in wide range.
c) They are highly reliable.
d) They have constant spring rates.
e) Their performance can be predicted more accurately.
f) There characteristics can be varied by changing dimensions.
2). Conical and Volute springs.
The conical and volute spring shown in the figure are used in special applications where the
spring rate increases in increase in load. Another feature of these types of springs is the decreasing
number of coils results in an increasing spring rate. This characteristic is some times utilized in
vibrations problems where springs are used to support to body that have varying mass.
3). Torsion springs.
These springs may be of helical or spiral type as shown in figure. Helical types of springs are
used where the load tends to wind up the springs and are used in electrical mechanisms. Spiral type
is used where the loads tends to increase the number of coils and are used in watches and clocks.
4). Laminated or Leaf springs.
The laminated or leaf spring (also known as flat spring) consists of a number of flat plates
(known as leaves) of varying lengths held together by means of clamps and bolts. These types of
springs are most used in automobiles.
5). Disc springs.
These springs consists of a number of conical discs held together by a central bolt or tube as
shown in figure. These springs are used in applications where high spring rates and compact spring
units are required.
Terms used in compression springs
1. Solid length: -
When the springs are compressed until the coils come in contact
with each other, then the spring is said to be solid. The solid length of a spring is the product of
total number of coils & the diameter of the wire. Mathematically,
l
Solid length- Ls = n .d
l
Where n - no of coils
d - dia of the coils
2. Free length:-
