Development of a computational software for mechanical flexible machine components design

This project emphasizes the development of computational algorithms to design compression, extension and torsion helicoidal springs. The input parameters for the application are load and deflection, besides some certain hypothesis and a priori decisions like material definition, type of ends, among others. The algorithm will use them to calculate the output parameters, which will be considered to define the spring dimensions, like wire diameter, spring length and diameter, and number of spirals. Other outputs are the stability condition and safety factors for yielding, fatigue and ressonance.
