Mechanical springs are common in engineering product designs and can be found in almost any engineering product, from consumer to heavy industrial. Disassemble anything that involves a mechanism, and chances are you will find some type of spring. This chapter examines the types of mechanical springs and covers the full design of springs subjected to static and dynamic loads, along with examples and solved/unsolved problems. The stress-strain analysis of spring types is covered, including helical compression springs and helical torsion springs. This chapter can be used as teaching material for courses in machine design for mechanical and industrial engineering majors in colleges and universities, and can also be used as a reference for scientific and technical personnel engaged in scientific and engineering calculations.
