A semi-elliptical spring 800mm long has eight leaves, two of which are full length. The leaves are 8mm thick and 60mm wide each. It is desired to replace this spring by a helical coil spring of 100mm mean diameter and of such nature that for any load it will have the same induced stress and same deflection as the leaf spring. What should be the diameter of the wire?
