Abstract

An analytical solution is proposed by the authors in order to take into account the effects of friction in the calculation of conical disk springs. The new formulation allows a more accurate estimate of the load corresponding to a given displacement, but it implies the knowledge of the friction coefficient f between the spring and the supporting surfaces. The reported numerical examples show that, disregarding friction effects, the maximum error committed in the evaluation of the load is in the range 2-5%, with f=0.14 (average friction coefficient value determined experimentally on commercial conical disk springs with different geometry). Comparison with both experimental and finite element calculations show a very good agreement of the analytical prediction.
