A closely coiled helical spring is acted upon by an axial force. The maximum shear stress developed in the spring is $$\tau $$. The half of the length of the spring if cut off and the remaining spring is acted upon by the same axial force. The maximum shear stress in the spring in new condition will be
When an open coiled helical compression spring is subjected to an axial compressive load, the maximum shear stress induced in the wire is (where D = Mean diameter of the spring coil, d = Diameter of the spring wire, K = Wahl's stress factor and W = Axial compressive load on the spring)
A tri-axial shear test is preferred to direct shear test, because
The strain energy stored in a body due to shear stress, is (where $$\tau $$ = Shear stress, C = Shear modulus and V = Volume of the body)
