Abstract
Nipping analysis of graduated-length leaf springs with uniform rectangular cross section of all leaves is presented. Initial gaps between leaves of the pre-assembled spring are determined such that the maximum bending stresses in all the leaves of the assembled and externally loaded spring become equal to each other. The expressions are derived for leaf springs consisting of two-to-five graduated-length leaves, which are stiffened by an additional full-length leaf placed atop. The reduction of the maximum bending stress achieved by nipping is quantified in each case. The deformed shapes and the residual gaps between the leaves in the loaded spring configuration are determined and discussed.
期刊介绍：
Since 1965, the international journal Acta Mechanica has been among the leading journals in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. In addition to the classical fields such as elasticity, plasticity, vibrations, rigid body dynamics, hydrodynamics, and gasdynamics, it also gives special attention to recently developed areas such as non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, micro/nano mechanics, smart materials and structures, and issues at the interface of mechanics and materials. The journal further publishes papers in such related fields as rheology, thermodynamics, and electromagnetic interactions with fluids and solids. In addition, articles in applied mathematics dealing with significant mechanics problems are also welcome.
