Test Your Spring Design Skills

• A Jib Crane is carrying a container with the help of Spring A and Spring B members.
• The container is spilling sand over the ground.
• Spring A and Spring B are intended for tensile and compressive forces, respectively.
• The maximum and minimum weight carried by the Jib Crane varies during the discharge operation.
• Design criteria include static design, fatigue design, buckling, resonance, and permanent set.
• A free body diagram must be constructed to comprehend loading circumstances and spring types.
• Spring B must be designed for a load range of 7kg to 75kg and an angle of 40° between the arms.
• Spring A must have a maximum deflection of 18mm and be designed for full-loading.
• Both springs must be made of hard drawn material and have a 99.99% reliability and a factor of safety of 2.25.
• Design details such as wire and coil diameters, spring rates, spring lengths, and minimum active coil numbers must be provided.
