Abstract

Spiral disc flexural mechanism is basically "XY"plane stress carrying elastic flexural members. These members have the capability to stretch below the elastic limit and regain its shape and original position after the forces are balanced from all sides. In short it may be depicted that this memberare also called as shock absorbers. The intensity of the shock absorbed depends upon the physical parameters of the flexural disc. The parameters under study for deflection are: Diameter of the disc, thickness of the disc, number of spiral arms, spiral swept angle, material of the disc. The main aim and scope of the paper is to study the various contours generated across the various parameters responsible for deflection
