Design and Implementation of Spring Cable Shaping Method Based on Fuzzy Control

In order to improve the production efficiency and elastic quality of spring cable, and meet the market demand of automatic mass production, based on the market research and experimental analysis of common spring cable shaping methods, a rapid shaping method of coil bar current heating spring cable is innovatively proposed. After the spring cable is wound on the coil bar once, the coil bar is directly heated to realize the spring wire temperature rising and setting. The process temperature is input from the man-machine interface, and the temperature control is based on a fuzzy algorithm, which is automatically adjusted by PLC. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional sizing method, the current heating method proposed in this paper can greatly shorten the product sizing time and has good sizing effect, which can well meet the market requirement of high-quality mass production of spring cable.

Modern state and directions of perfection of technological processes of manufacturing hardened-tempered spring wire

Basic technical requirements to spring wire as per domestic and foreign standards presented, the factors effecting the quality of finished products considered. Description of technological processes of hardened-tempered spring wire of critical application presented. It was shown that domestic technological scheme of treated wire production is analogous to foreign one, however to reach the quality of products, correspondent to norms нормам EN 10270-2:2012, a perfection of it is needed.

It was proposed to implement an operation of scalping instead of turning and a system of nondestructive control, to use resource-saving routes of wire drawing with high uniformity of properties, to replace hardening and tempering by thermomechanical treatment (for some kinds of wire), to use modern highly-productive equipment.

Analysis and Synthesis of Conical Coil Springs

Springs are mechanical devices that are employed to resist forces, store energy, absorb shocks, mitigate vibrations, or maintain parts contacting each other. Spring wires are commonly coiled in the forms of helixes for either extension or compression. Helical springs usually have cylindrical shapes that have constant coil diameter, constant pitch and constant spring rate. Unlike conventional cylindrical coil springs, the coil diameter of conically coiled springs is variable. They have conical or tapered shapes that have a large coil diameter at the base and a small coil diameter at the top. The variable coil diameter enables conical coil springs generate desired load deflection relationships, have high lateral stability and low buckling liability. In addition, conical compression springs can have significantly larger compression or shorter compressed height than conventional helical compression springs. The compressed height of a conical compression spring can reach its limit that is the diameter of the spring wire if it is properly synthesized. The height of an undeformed conical coil spring can have its height of its spring wire if the spring pitch is chosen to be zero. The variable coil diameter of conical coil springs provides them with unique feature, but also raises their synthesis difficulties. Synthesizing conical coil springs that require large spring compression or small deformed spring height or constant spring rate is challenging. This research is motivated by surmounting the current challenges facing conical coil springs. In this research, independent parameters are introduced to control the diameter and pitch of a conical coil spring. Different conical coil springs are modeled. Their performances are simulated using the created models. The deflection-force relationships of conical coil springs are analyzed. The results from this research provide useful guidelines for developing conical coil springs.

ANALISIS DIAMETER KAWAT SPRING DAN PANJANG LOWER MOUNTING SUSPENSI BELAKANG MOTOR MATIC

The stability of the vehicle / motorbike is also determined by the suspension. Usually the suspension on the motor is installed right-left symmetrically. This is so that the vehicle load is evenly distributed if there is a shock / sudden load. But development and need negate each other. Currently, the development of automatic motorbikes is quite rapid. This motorbike is designed to be sleek and nimble and easy to maintain. Therefore, the rear suspension of the automatic motorbike is installed on only one side. And this usually occurs during sharp turns and high speeds and if you go through uneven roads. For this reason, it is necessary to design the right suspension so that the vehicle can maintain stability even when turning or passing uneven roads. This instability is due to the large vibration of the vehicle. The objectives of this study are 1. To determine the effect of the size of the spring wire and the length of the mounting on the vibration frequency. 2. Find the diameter of the spring wire and the length of the mounting that will give a good vibration frequency. This study uses the Desaign Of Experiment method.

Effect of the galvanization process on the fatigue life of high strength steel compression springs

In this study, a compression spring fatigue problem arising from the galvanization process was investigated. Fatigue, crack initiation and growth of galvanized and non-galvanized springs manufactured from fully pearlitic high strength steel wires were investigated. According to the results, the galvanized compression springs exhibited a low fatigue life due to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement induced crack initiations formed under the galvanizing layer and adversely affect fatigue life. It was observed that local embrittlement on the outer surface of the spring wire causes crack initiations and disperses through the pearlitic interlamellar microstructure. Compared to non-galvanized and shot-peened specimens with the same surface roughness, compression springs, galvanized compression springs exhibited a 25 % reaction force loss at 50 000 cycles.

Pengukuran Modulus Geser Baja Menggunakan Analisis Osilasi Pegas-Massa

A steel shear modulus measurement has been conducted using spring-mass oscillation analysis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the spring-mass oscillation analysis method can measure the shear modulus of the steel. In this study, springs that are used are made of steel with a spring radius of 7.86 mm, a spring wire diameter of 0.817 mm and there is no distance between the coil springs. The length of the spring is varied 7 times, i.e., 4.75 cm, 5.36 cm, 5.89 cm, 6.81 cm, 8.53 cm, 9.44 cm, and 10.87 cm. The spring radius and the diameter of the spring wire are measured using a micrometer screw, while the spring length is determined using image analysis using the Logger Pro program. The spring constant is determined from the equation of the results of the position graph fitting (x) with respect to time (t) load on the oscillating spring-mass system. The value of the shear modulus can be determined from the constants on the graph of the relationship of the spring constant to the spring length following the equation from Sommerfeld. The research measures the shear modulus is 1.24 GPa

Outcomes of Supplementary Spring Wire Fixation With Volar Plating for Volar Lunate Facet Fragments in Distal Radius Fractures

Background Intra-articular distal radius fractures with small volar lunate facet fragments can be challenging to address with volar plate fixation alone. Volar locked plating with supplementary spring wire fixation has been previously described in a small series but has not been further described in the literature. We hypothesized that this technique can provide adequate fixation for volar lunate facet fragments smaller than 15 mm in length, which are at risk of displacement. Methods We completed a retrospective chart review (2015-2019) of patients who underwent volar locked plating with the addition of supplementary spring wire fixation for intra-articular distal radius fractures with a volar lunate facet fragment (<15 mm). Postoperative radiographs were assessed to evaluate union, evidence of hardware failure, escape of the volar lunate facet fragment, and postoperative volar tilt. Clinical outcome was assessed with wrist flexion/extension, arc of pronosupination, and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Score ( QuickDASH) scores. Results Fifteen patients were identified, of which all went on to fracture union. There were no hardware failures or escape of the volar lunate facet fragment at final follow-up. One patient underwent hardware removal for symptoms of flexor tendon irritation. The mean wrist flexion was 59°, wrist extension was 70°, pronation was 81°, and supination was 76°. The mean QuickDASH score was 18.5. The mean postoperative volar tilt was 3.6°. Conclusions Supplementary spring wire fixation with standard volar plating provides stable fixation for lunate facet fragments less than 15 mm. This technique is a safe and reliable alternative to commercially available fragment-specific implants.

Investigation on the Curvature Correction Factor of Extension Spring

The curvature correction factor is an important parameter in the stress calculation formulation of a helical extension spring, which describes the effect of spring wire curvature on the stress increase towards its inner radius. In this study, the parameters affecting the curvature correction factor were investigated through theoretical and numerical methods. Several finite element (FE) models of an extension spring were generated to obtain the distribution of the tensile stress in the spring. In this investigation, the hook orientation and the number of coils of the extension spring showed significant effects on the curvature correction factor. These parameters were not considered in the theoretical model for the calculation of the curvature correction factor, causing a deviation between the results of the FE model and the theoretical approach. A set of equations is proposed for the curvature correction factor, which relates both the spring index and the number of coils. These equations can be applied directly to the design of extension springs with a higher safety factor.
