Radial Expansion of a Helical Rectangular Cross Section Spring
Radial Expansion of a Helical Rectangular Cross Section Spring
(OP)
Hello all. I've been looking around for a formula for the radial expansion of a helical rectiangular cross section spring for quite some time now without success. I have an application where knowing the expansion is critical as I need to use as much OD as possible for stress reasons. I've searched on-line and come up with very little. If anyone would share what knowledge they have it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
