The dimensions, along with the load and deflection requirements, determine the stresses in the spring. When a compression spring is loaded, the coiled wire is stressed in torsion. The stress is ...

Here are some tips when using springs for prototyping and design. • Stock springs are generally intended for prototyping, and their use in production can compromise designs. • Experts recommend ...

Gas turbine engine components are prone to high- and low-cycle fatigue (HCF and LCF), cracking in critical areas of high stress. Cracks often initiate from local stress concentrations created by ...

Wave springs are compression springs that offer a compact alternative to traditional coil springs. As a design engineer or product manufacturer, it is essential to understand the factors that ...

Our team will design, build, and test a system to extract water from gypsum, demonstrating an Earth version as a step toward a Mars version ultimately needed. Our project goal is to develop a new part ...

Most people probably don’t think about springs until one kinks up or snaps, but most of the world’s springs are pretty crucial. The ones that aren’t go by the name Slinky. We all use and encounter ...
