Question Y-N

We are building a mechanism to reduce vibration by installing a laminated flat spring under an equipment, but there are so many things that we do not understand and we would love to ask you.

When a heavy-duty flat spring is used, it is thought that hysteresis occurs due to friction between the springs, the spring constant fluctuates, and damping also occurs (these are from the documents we read). However, we do not understand (1) the relationship between the inter-plate friction and the spring constant (2) the relationship between the inter-plate friction and the damping coefficient (3) the relationship between the inter-plate friction and the amplitude velocity.

Could you help us explain these? Thank you in advance for your time!

Answer Tokai Spring

Thank you for writing to us, Y-N!

We have materials on the friction of the laminated flat springs, so we will send them directly to you!
