Abstract

Design formulas and working charts are derived for predicting load-deflection characteristics and maximum bending stresses in initially straight buckling column springs, of uniform cross section, considered to be pin jointed at the supports. Load-deflection analysis is based on the study of a slender bar, compressed beyond critical buckling, made by Lagrange. Stresses are calculated using the elementary strength of materials theory. The predicted load-deflection curves for typical spring proportions are compared with the experimental results.
