The bending radius (r) is the radius measured after the bending process of a metal component or a shaped spring and flat shaped spring. However, the strength of the spring material decreases due to bending. The material thickness at the
Stress-strain diagram spring steel
The stress-strain diagram is also used to determine the static load capacity of spring steel. The stress-strain diagram shows the strain behaviour of the spring steel up to fracture during the tensile test. For the designer, the stress-strain diagram is
