With the leaf spring or flat spring clamped on one side, the maximum bending stress, spring force, spring deflection (deflection), spring leaf thickness and spring rate can be calculated as follows. The bending stress increases linearly with the leaf spring
Calculate moment of inertia of area
In the design of flat springs, shaped springs and flat shaped springs, the area moment of inertia is often calculated in addition to the bending stress. The area moment of inertia is a geometric quantity used in strength theory. It
