Bending Applied Spring Stiffness Constant Equations and Calculator
kt = (( E d4 ) / (32 n D ) ) ( 1 / ( 1 + E / 2G)
kt = Spring Stiffness (lb-in / rad)
d = Wire Diameter (in),
D = Mean Coil Diameter (in),
n = Number of Active Coils,
E = Young's Modulus (lb/in2)
G = Modulus of Elasticity in Shear (lb/in2)
