Friction / Damping Calc
Friction / Damping Calc
(OP)
I'm designing a spring with spring washers (belleville type).
I'm looking for formulas to calculate the damping / frictional effects of stacking them unidirectionally.
The stress / deflection formulas are easily found.

RE: Friction / Damping Calc
2 +/- 4 to 6%
3 +/- 6 to 9%
4 +/- 8 to 12%
5 +/- 10 to 15%
The "+" is the gain in force on compression and the "-" is the decrease in force on relaxation.
