The shape in discussion is the curved beam. The arrow points at the location where the curved beam is going to deflect.

Problem statement - For the spring structure shown in the figure, i need to calculate the spring stiffness. Input: 1. All dimensions 2. Material Spec Let me know if i need to be more clear

I don't know where to start. that is the problem. The Castigliano theorem ?? really i don't know ! Please help

Homework Statement I'm unable to calculate the stiffness of the spring. Once, i get the stiffness i'd like to calculate the load required for the defined deflection. Homework Equations - The Attempt at a Solution -
