Thaks to everyone that took the time to respond. I have FEA and will use it later in the design as the belville is customised. I do not envisage the disc thickness being constant in the final design so FEA will be essential. I already have the books suggested but the radial deflection is not...
I am half way through designing a new product and need a custom belville. I can find information on force/axial deflection but nothing on radial deflection. As this is critial to the design I need to be able to calculate this for various OD/ID ratios, material thickness and cone angle. Where...
