DESIGN OF SPRING

Problems
1. Design a helical compression spring to support an axial load of 3000 N. The
deflection under load is limited to 60mm. The spring index is 6.The spring is
made of chrome vanadium steel and factor of safety is equal to 2

2. Design a valve spring for an automobile engine, when the valve is closed,
the spring produces a force of 45N and when it opens, produces a force of
55N. The spring must fit over the valve bush which has an outside diameter of
20 mm and must go inside a space of 35 mm. The lift of the valve is 6 mm.
The spring index is 12. The allowable stress may be taken as 330 MPa.
Modulus of rigidity 80GPa.

Problems
3. Round wire cylindrical compression spring has an outside diameter of 75
mm. It is made of 12.5mm diameter steel wire. The spring supports an axial
load of 5000N, Determine
(i) Maximum shear stress,
(ii) Total deflection if the spring has 8 coils with squared-ground end and is
made of SAE 9260 steel.
(iii) Find also the pitch of coils and
(iv) The natural frequency of vibration of the spring if the one is at rest.

4. The spring loaded safety valve for a boiler is required to blow off at a
pressure of 1.3MPa. The diameter of the valve is 65 mm and maximum lift of
the valve is 17.5mm. Design a suitable compression spring for a valve
assuming spring index to be 6 and
providing initial compression of 30mm take = 0.45GPa and G= 84 Gpa.

Assignment Problem#2
The valve spring of a gasoline engine is 40mm long when the valve is open and
48mm long when the valve is closed. The spring loads are 250N when the
valve is closed and 400N when the valve is open. The inside diameter of the
spring is not to be less then 25mm and factor of safety is 2.
