4. Other coil springs: variable flexibilities

Springs are generally exploited for their linear force/height characteristics. However, in some special cases, non-linear characteristics may be of interest. The most common application for springs with variable flexibility is in the suspension of vehicles with decreasing flexibility. to reduce wheel travel, or so that oscillation frequency varies little with load. Variable flexibility is also sought in non-linear vibration absorbers, for example.
