Setting Given Find
¾ overstress material in same direction as applied
load F, y k d, C, D*, Lf*, Na*, clash
» increase static load capacity 45-65% k, y F + allowance (α)**, material**
» increase energy storage by 100%
¾ use Ks, not Kw (stress concentration relieved)
design variables
Load Reversal with Springs
Such that:
Shot Peening Safety factor is > 1
¾ What type of failure would this be most effective Spring will not buckle
against? Spring will fit in hole, over pin, within vertical space

Three things to know: ITERATE?
• effect of d Three things to know: use Table 13-2 to select standard d near
buckling, Nshut, Di, Do
• shortcut to finding d • effect of d calculated d K =S /S m ys ut
• how to check buckling Nshut=Sys/τshut • shortcut to finding d
*maintain units (in. or mm) for A, b

dl
lo a
ideally, fn will be at least 13x more than fforcing… Solve for d, pick standard d
Find stresses
it should definitely be multiple times bigger Find stresses
Determine material properties
Find safety factor Determine material properties
Check safety factor
Two things to know:
• shortcut to finding d
• how to check frequency …see pages 814-815 for more
