Analysis of Stress-Strain State of the Plate Spring

Abstract

The plate spring is the most important elastic element of friction automotive connectors. Therefore the analysis of the tension and deflection springs of great importance. In this paper, in the software package Autodesk Inventor, we made a model of the plane plate spring, and did the analysis of the stress-strain state and presented the results. Also we did the analysis of the influence of the thickness of the spring and the values of the outer and inner diameter on the intensity of stresses and displacements and corresponding conclusions were drawn.
