About this document
Eccentric Loading and Surge in Springs by Ozzie Ozzie is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the deflection of helical springs under various loading conditions, including eccentric loading and surge effects. Eccentric loading reduces the safe load and alters spring stiffness, while surge occurs when a sudden load causes uneven deflection across coils, potentially leading to failure if resonance is achieved. Methods to mitigate surge include using friction dampers, high natural frequency springs, and varying coil pitch.
