Abstract:
This paper deals
with the deformation and stress of the one-piece bow spring by
means of the geometry nonlinear theory of thin plate. The
deformation of the loaded spring is regarded as a bending
problem of the thin plate. The deformation of the loaded spring
is regarded as a bending problem of the thin plate with initial
deflection. After a series of theoretical analyses a
characteristic line equation and calculation formulae for the
stress of the spring is formulated.
