The Modulus of Elasticity of spiral spring is a quantity that measures the spring's resistance to being deformed elastically when stress is applied to it. It represents the stiffness of the spring material.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the modulus of elasticity based on the bending moment, geometric properties of the spring strip, and the angle of rotation of the arbor.
Details: Accurate calculation of modulus of elasticity is crucial for designing spiral springs with specific mechanical properties, ensuring proper performance, and predicting spring behavior under various loading conditions.
Tips: Enter all values in the specified units. Bending moment, length, angle, width, and thickness must be positive values greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: What is the typical range of modulus of elasticity for spring materials?
A: The modulus of elasticity for common spring materials like steel typically ranges from 190-210 GPa, while for other materials it can vary significantly.
Q2: How does thickness affect the modulus of elasticity calculation?
A: Thickness has a cubic relationship in the denominator, meaning small changes in thickness can significantly affect the calculated modulus of elasticity.
Q3: What factors can affect the accuracy of this calculation?
A: Measurement accuracy of all input parameters, material homogeneity, and proper unit conversion can affect the calculation accuracy.
Q4: Can this formula be used for all types of spiral springs?
A: This formula is specifically designed for spiral springs with the described geometry and may not be applicable to other spring configurations.
Q5: How does temperature affect the modulus of elasticity?
A: The modulus of elasticity typically decreases with increasing temperature for most materials, though the rate of change varies between materials.
