What is it about?
The calculation formulas for springs with an inconstant wire diameter and with a variable mean diameter of spring are presented. Based on these formulas the optimization of spring for given spring rate and strength of the wire is performed. The design principles for optimal leaf springs are presented.

Why is it important?
This book highlights the mechanics of the elastic elements made of steel alloys with focus on the metal springs for automotive industry. The industry and scientific organizations study intensively the foundations of design of spring elements and permanently improve the mechanical properties of spring materials.
Perspectives
The development responsibilities of spring manufacturing company involve the optimal application of the existing material types. Thus, the task entails in the target-oriented evaluation of the mechanical properties and the subsequent design of the springs, which makes full use of the attainable material characteristics. The book stands as a valuable reference for professionals in practice as well as an advanced learning resource for students of structural and automotive engineering
