6.1.1 Conducting the calculation
In general, the data are the desired flexibility and the spring's overall dimensions, in particular the maximum width, the distance between supports L and the embedding conditions, which make it possible to determine the active length La = L – A, where A is the length actually embedded.
The calculation involves three steps:
in the first stage, the spring composition is calculated, i.e. the number...
