State two factors that affect the spring constant of a spring made using a wire of a certain material and given thickness

1 answer:

8 0

The spring's rigidity is quantified by the spring constant. The spring constant increases as the wire's thickness increases. The spring constant lowers as the coil's diameter increases.

Material: Steel and copper are two materials that have differing constants when used to make identical springs.

Describe the spring constant ?

The restoring force applied to the spring for a given length of deflection is known as the spring constant. It is often referred to as the amount of force needed to extend or compress a spring one unit of length.

The level of resistance to spring deformation is expressed by the spring constant. In addition to being known as spring stiffness or spring rate, the spring constant and It is represented by the letter "K."

The following variables affect the coil spring's spring constant:-

a) Modulus of rigidity (G): As the modulus of rigidity of the spring material increases, so does the coil spring's spring constant.

b) Wire diameter (d): As the diameter of the spring wire grows, so does the spring constant.

c) Coil diameter (D): As the diameter of the spring coil increases, so does the spring's spring constant.

d) Number of coils (n): As the number of spring coils increases, the spring constant decreases.

Continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite with cross-sectional area of 340 mm2 (0.53 in.2) is subjected to a longitudina

Alecsey [184]

(a) 23.4

The fiber-to-matrix load ratio is given by

$\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{E_f V_f}{E_m V_m}$

where

$E_f = 131 GPa$ is the fiber elasticity module

$E_m = 2.4 GPa$ is the matrix elasticity module

$V_f=0.3$ is the fraction of volume of the fiber

$V_m=0.7$ is the fraction of volume of the matrix

Substituting,

$\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{(131 GPa)(0.3)}{(2.4 GPa)(0.7)}=23.4$ (1)

(b) 44,594 N

The longitudinal load is

F = 46500 N

And it is sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

$F=F_f + F_m$ (2)

We can rewrite (1) as

$F_m = \frac{F_f}{23.4}$

And inserting this into (2):

$F=F_f + \frac{F_f}{23.4}$

Solving the equation, we find the actual load carried by the fiber phase:

$F=F_f (1+\frac{1}{23.4})\\F_f = \frac{F}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=\frac{46500 N}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=44,594 N$

(c) 1,906 N

Since we know that the longitudinal load is the sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

$F=F_f + F_m$ (2)

Using

F = 46500 N

$F_f = 44594 N$

We can immediately find the actual load carried by the matrix phase:

$F_m = F-F_f = 46,500 N - 44,594 N=1,906 N$

(d) 437 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the fiber phase is

$A_f = A V_f$

where

$A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2$ is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting $V_f=0.3$ , we have

$A_f = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.3)=102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

And the magnitude of the stress on the fiber phase is

$\sigma_f = \frac{F_f}{A_f}=\frac{44594 N}{102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=4.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 437 MPa$

(e) 8.0 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the matrix phase is

$A_m = A V_m$

where

$A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2$ is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting $V_m=0.7$ , we have

$A_m = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.7)=238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

And the magnitude of the stress on the matrix phase is

$\sigma_m = \frac{F_m}{A_m}=\frac{1906 N}{238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=8.0\cdot 10^6 Pa = 8.0 MPa$

(f) $3.34\cdot 10^{-3}$

The longitudinal modulus of elasticity is

$E = E_f V_f + E_m V_m = (131 GPa)(0.3)+(2.4 GPa)(0.7)=41.0 Gpa$

While the total stress experienced by the composite is

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}=\frac{46500 N}{340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2}=1.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 0.137 GPa$

So, the strain experienced by the composite is

$\epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}=\frac{0.137 GPa}{41.0 GPa}=3.34\cdot 10^{-3}$
