On Spiral Spring in Elastic Deformation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Spiral spring is one of most important components in mechanical systems. According to literatures, there are only few studies on spiral springs. Using the Castiliago’s method and Mohr’s theorem, the mechanic model of spiral spring in elastic deformation is developed. As a typical case, Archimedes spiral spring is studied in details and experiments are also conducted to validate the mechanic model. Experiment shows that the theoretical analysis and experimental result matches very well, therefore the mechanic model can be used to estimate the deformation of spiral spring and to guide and facilitate the design of spiral spring.
