| leaf spring material: FEM for Springs Masayoshi Shimoseki, Toshio Hamano, Toshiyuki Imaizumi, 2013-03-09 The Japanese original edition of FEM for Springs was published in 1997, to com memorate the 50th anniversary of Japan Society for Spring Research (JSSR). While there have been many books published about Finite Element Method (FEM), this book was among the first to address the application of FEM to spring design. When asked about springs, one might imagine a mere shape of helical coil. How ever, there are many more varieties of shapes and functions in the application of springs. Consequently, some are very difficult to calculate by design formula. FEM gives the solutions to those advanced engineering cases. Nowadays, it is strongly desired to have a design method for springs as a com mon base from a global point of view. Under these circumstances, JSSR planned to publish an English version of FEM for Springs. By improving the contents and adding many examples, this book, FEM for Springs, has been brought to comple tion. It is a truly significant event. I am confident that this book is suitable for engineers in worldwide industrial sectors and for college students as well. |

| leaf spring material: Design of Machine Elements - I Anup Goel, 2021-01-01 The term design means to plan for the construction of an object or the formulation of a plan for the satisfaction of need. The term machine design deals with the design of machines, their mechanisms and elements. Design of Machine Element (DME) may be defined as the selection of material and the dimensions for each geometrical parameter so that the element satisfies its function and undesirable effects are kept within the allowable limit. Machine elements are basic mechanical parts and features used as the building blocks of most machines. This book provides a systematic exposition of the basic concepts and techniques involved in design of machine elements. This book covers design of important mechanical elements such as shafts, couplings, springs and power screws under static load. The design of welded and threaded joints and the members subjected to fluctuating loads is also included in this book. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge. |
