we all know the linear hookes law as f=kx where f is the force applied on a spring
and x is the displacement and k is the spring stiffness.
All springs need not behave linearly. suppose a spring behaves non linearly
What is the theory that calculates the deflection for a non linear spring when
a force f is applied.
Basically i believe non linear finite element analysis is based on this non linear
spring theory.
in a non linear spring f will not be proportional to x but may be proportional to
square of x or cube of x or some power of x.
and x is the displacement and k is the spring stiffness.
