______________________________________________________________________________

10-22 In Prob. 10-21, there is an advantage of first selecting d as one can select from the
available sizes (Table A-28). Selecting C first requires a calculation of d where then a
size must be selected from Table A-28.
Consider part (a) of the problem. It is required that

ID = D d = 0.800 in. (1)

From Eq. (10-1), D = Cd. Substituting this into the first equation yields

0.800
d= (2)
C 1

Starting with C = 10, from Eq. (2) we find that d = 0.089 in. From Table A-28, the closest
diameter is d = 0.090 in. Substituting this back into Eq. (1) gives D = 0.890 in, with C =
0.890/0.090 = 9.889, which are acceptable. From this point the solution is the same as
Prob. 10-21. For part (b), use

10-23 One approach is to select A227 HD steel for its low cost. Try L0 = 48 mm, then for
y = 48 37.5 = 10.5 mm when F = 45 N. The spring rate is k = F/y = 45/10.5 = 4.286
N/mm.

For a clearance of 1.25 mm with screw, ID = 10 + 1.25 = 11.25 mm. Starting with
d = 2 mm,
D = ID + d = 11.25 + 2 = 13.25 mm

10-24 Select A227 HD steel for its low cost. Try L0 = 48 mm, then for y = 48 37.5 = 10.5 mm
when F = 45 N. The spring rate is k = F/y = 45/10.5 = 4.286 N/mm.

For a clearance of 1.25 mm with screw, ID = 10 + 1.25 = 11.25 mm.

D d = 11.25 (1)

and, D =Cd (2)

Starting with C = 8, gives D = 8d. Substitute into Eq. (1) resulting in d = 1.607 mm.
Selecting the nearest diameter in the given range, d = 1.6 mm. From this point, the
calculations are shown in the third column of the spreadsheet output shown. We see that
for d = 1.6 mm, the spring is not solid safe. Iterating on C we find that C = 6.5 provides
acceptable results with the specifications

The only difference between selecting C first rather than d as was done in Prob. 10-23, is
that once d is calculated, the closest wire size must be selected. Iterating on d uses
available wire sizes from the beginning.

10-25 A stock spring catalog may have over two hundred pages of compression springs with up
to 80 springs per page listed.
Students should be made aware that such catalogs exist.
Many springs are selected from catalogs rather than designed.
The wire size you want may not be listed.
Catalogs may also be available on disk or the web through search routines. For
example, disks are available from Century Spring at
1 - (800) - 237 - 5225
www.centuryspring.com
It is better to familiarize yourself with vendor resources rather than invent them
yourself.
Sample catalog pages can be given to students for study.

satisfy ns 1.2. Also, the Gerber line is closer to the yield line than the Goodman. Setting
nf = 1.5 for Goodman makes it impossible to reach the yield line (ns < 1) . The table
