Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force found in a spring. And last are resistive forces: ...
Coil spring force line control is an important aspect of spring design for coil-over-shock suspension type applications, such as MacPherson strut and coil-over-shock trailing arm applications, from ...
Friction springs consist of radial rings that deform briefly and convert impact energy into frictional heat. Design them into your next design for damping. Carl Fenstermacher, President, Ringfeder ...
