Stiffness Model of a Die Spring

The objective of this research is to determine the three-dimensional stiffness matrix of a rectangular cross-section helical coil compression spring. The stiffnesses of the spring are derived using strain energy methods and Castiglianoâ s second theorem. A theoretical model is developed and prese...
