    The document describes an experiment to study the compression of a helical spring. The objectives were to plot a load-deflection curve, determine spring stiffness, and compare theoretical and experimental stiffness values. A helical spring was loaded in a universal testing machine and its deflection measured at increasing loads. The data collected was used to calculate the spring's theoretical and average experimental stiffness. The results found the modulus of rigidity to be 0.7963 kN/mm^2 and the average stiffness 0.77201 KN/mm, with less than 1% error between the theoretical and experimental stiffness values.

    Experiment No: 04

    Name of Experiment: Study and Observation of Compression Test of A


    Helical Spring

    Objectives:

    1. To draw curve by plotting load against deflection.


    2. To find the stiffness of the spring.
    3. To compare theoretical stiffness with experimental value.
    4. To find the modulus of rigidity, δ

    Theory:

    A spring is a resilient member that capable of providing large elastic


    deformation and basically define as an elastic body whose function is to
    distort when loaded and recover its original shape when the load is
    removed. Mechanical spring are used in machines to exert force, to
    provide flexible ability to store of absorb energy. There are various
    types of mechanical springs. Helical springs is one of those. The helical
    spring, in which wire wrapped in a coil that resembles a screw thread ,
    is probably the most commonly used mechanical spring. It can be
    designed to carry, pull or push loads. If a helical spring of circular cross
    section is subjected to axial load, then in section of spring there will
    develop direct shear stress and torsional stress, since direct shear stress
    need to measure in microscopic level so we neglect this deformation in
    this experiment thus the major part of this stress is torsional sheer
    stress. Practically, all the spring elongation measured along its axis , is
    caused by torsional deformation of the spring wire .deflection of spring
    is given by
    64 P R 2 n
    δ= G d 4 …………………………..(1)

    Where ,

    P=Applied axial load

    R=Mean radius

    n=number if axis

    G=Modulus of rigidity

    d=wire diameter

    Now the stiffness k, of a body is a measure of the resistance offered by


    an elastic body to deform.

    Spring stiffness ,k= P/δ


    64 P R 3 n
    The from equation (1), G = δ d4

    64 k R3 n
    Modulus of rigidity , G = d4

    P G d4
    Here , δ = 64 R2 n is slope of P vs δ curve.

    Required Apparatus:

    1. Helical spring
    2. UTM(Universal Testing Machine)
    3. Slide calipers.
    4. Dial indicator

    Working procedure:

    1. Firstly we measure the length ,inner ,outer and wire diameter of


    given helical spring by using slide calipers. Also counted the turn
    number and calculated the mean radius from the difference of
    inner and outer diameter of the spring .
    2. Secondly we put two supporting heads on two sides of the spring
    and placed it between the table and cross head of the UTM. Also
    set the dial indicator at proper position .
    3. Because of doing speedy deflection of the spring will get
    deflection against the load in this experiment.
    4. By putting the values in a data sheet we calculate the average of
    stiffness and plot the load vs deflection curve properly.

    Data table :

    Height of the spring (free length)=72.1mm

    Outer diameter D0 =58.75 mm

    Inner diameter Di =35.10mm

    Wire diameter d=20.65mm

    Number of turns =5

    Mean radius R=24.21mm
