I have a c spring in my design and have calculated the stress for my application and it seems to be within limits. When i test it deforms permanently. Has anyone worked with c springs or could anyone point me in a direction that might have different stress equations that are more real life?
I am triing to design a clutch for an extremely high vibration application. The clutch consists of multiple compressed beveled disks. I am currently using about a ten tooth spline in the clutch with three keys on the outside to drive the clutch housing. I am using pretty tight tolerances...
