Abstract
Abstract It is occasionally desirable to incorporate into a mechanism a spring having a particular nonlinear force-deflection relationship. This need may arise in the design of computers, certain control mechanisms, and special shock-absorbing systems. A technique is developed whereby leaf springs may be designed to follow arbitrary functions having increasing first derivatives. Some experimental results are discussed. A device is described which will produce a spring characteristic having a decreasing first derivative.
