In this thesis springs and dampers are discussed. In the introductory chapter
concepts like spring stiffness, spring work, damping coefficient and
application-degree are discussed. These are universal concepts that are
applicable to every spring and damper. In the chapter "Springs" a
short description is given of the different kinds of springs.
Then the metal springs are discussed more fundamentally. The following springs
are discussed in this chapter: barsprings, ringsprings, leafsprings,
spiralsprings, roll- and turnsprings, disksprings, turnbarsprings,
compressionsprings, tenstionsprings and exceptional shaped springs.
In the chapter "Dampers", the dampers are divided into three groups: the
passive damper, the semi-active damper and the active damper. In the thesis
only a number of passive dampers and semi-active dampers are discussed. A
number of ways of passive damping is discussed: Visco elastic materials,
viscose fluids, shockdamper and piezo-electrical elements. The semi-active
dampers are discussed by discussing the principal of a variable oildamper
and a magneto-rheological and electro-rheological damper.
In the last chapter an example is given of the application of a damper in
the practice. An example is given of the choice of a cranebuffer. By a
calculation a specific kind of hydraulic buffer is chosen. Then a number of
control calculations are made.
In the appendix a calculation is given of the force acting in the ringspring
during the load or relief of an external force. Also a dynamic model is
formulated and calculated of a barspring.
