Equation attached.
For those who can't see the image here it is in text form, k=(Gd^4)/(8D^3 n )
It is the equation for the stiffness of a spring in terms of its dimensions:
G - shear constant
d - wire diameter
D - coil average diameter
n - number of active coils (total coils -2 as the top and bottom coils are not considered active)
I would like to know how to derive this equation as it is a big chunk of my project,
I am doing this as part of a university project, and your derivation will be duly noted/referenced.
Thanks in advance!
Anthony
