Calculation

Shear admissible stress

$$τ_{adm}=\cfrac{S_y}{\sqrt{3}}$$

Spring deflection

$$f=\cfrac{16\cdot n\cdot\left(\cfrac{D_1}{2}+\cfrac{D_0}{2}\right)\cdot\left(\left(\cfrac{D_1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\cfrac{D_0}{2}\right)^2\right)\cdot F}{d^4\cdot G\cdot 10^3}$$

Spring stiffness

$$k=\cfrac{F}{f\cdot 10^{-3}}$$

Energy stored

$$E_p=\cfrac{F\cdot f\cdot 10^{-3}}{2}$$

Shear stress

$$τ_S=\cfrac{16\cdot F\cdot\cfrac{D_1}{2}}{π\cdot d^3}$$

$$τ_S\le τ_{adm}$$

Safety factor

$$S_F=\cfrac{τ_{adm}}{τ_S}$$
