    Data Springs
AI Thread Summary
Prototype work involving long springs capable of handling around 2200 lbs is being pursued, with a need for affordable parts and potential self-manufacturing methods. Recommendations include "Machinery's Handbook" by Oberg, which offers valuable introductory information on springs, with PDF copies of earlier editions available online. Users can find new and used copies through bookfinder.com. There is also a request for free software related to spring design or analysis. The discussion emphasizes the importance of sourcing reliable information and resources for spring-related projects.

I want to do some prototype work that may need some springs. they are long springs I will need to find cheep part so I may need to know how to make them as well. The end use would be long large and springs and work around 2200 lbs. I can't give to much more then that some people will think its homework and flag me again. If you know of free software I can get that would be nice as well.

“Machinery's Handbook” by Oberg, has a very good introductory section on springs.

There are pdf copies of previous editions on the web.
New and second hand copies are available, find them via www.bookfinder.com
 
Thank you I am working a lot right now and will get back to you when I can.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
