Bending Stress
Torsion spring has bending induced in coils, rather than torsion.
Means that residual stresses built in during winding are in same
direction but of opposite sign to working stresses that occur during
use.
Strain-strengthening locks in residual stresses opposing working
stresses provided load is always applied in winding sense.
Torsion springs can operate at bending stresses exceeding yield
strength of wire from which it was wound.
Bending stress can be obtained from curved-beam theory expressed in
Mc
form shown below:

where C is spring index and subscript i and o refer to inner and outer
fibers, respectively.
In view of fact that Ko is always less than unity, we shall use K i to
estimate the stresses. When bending moment is M = Fr and section
modulus

Torsion springs are frequently used over round bar or pin. When load
is applied to torsion spring, spring winds up, causing decrease in
inside diameter of coil body.
It is necessary to ensure that inside diameter of coil never becomes
equal to or less than diameter of pin, in which case loss of spring
function would ensure.

Fatigue Strength
Since spring wire is in bending, Sines equation is not applicable. The
Sines model is in the presence of pure torsion. Since Zimmerlis
results were for compression springs (wire in pure torsion), we will
use the repeated bending stress (R = 0) values provided by
Associated Spring in Table 10-10.
As in Eq. (10-40) we will use the Gerber fatigue-failure criterion
incorporating the Associated Spring R = 0 fatigue strength S :r
