Abstract

In this paper the optimal disk spring is defined. Spring resilience is used as an objective function in order to attain maximum utilization of material. Various constraints on stress and/or deflection are considered. Results indicate that the radially tapered section represents the optimal realistic disk spring which maximizes the objective function and satisfies stipulated constraints. Optimal design parameters for radially tapered disk springs are thus considered and compared with those for uniform-section disk springs.
