Spring load: static load and dynamic load

The loads applied to a spring can be broadly divided into two types: static loads and dynamic loads.

◎ Static Load The following cases apply: 1) During the use of the spring, there is no fluctuation in load (a constant load is applied). 2) There is fluctuation in load, but the number of repetitions is approximately 1,000 times or less over its lifetime. ◎ Dynamic Load Also referred to as repeated load, most springs fall into this category. The methods for evaluating the durability of springs also differ for each case. In the case of static load, the evaluation criterion is whether the material undergoes plastic deformation. The idea is that it is acceptable as long as there is no "settling" in the spring. For dynamic load, it is natural that there is no settling, and the evaluation is based on how many cycles the spring can endure before fatigue failure occurs. By the way, enduring 10 million cycles is considered equivalent to having a semi-permanent durability. The "fatigue" of metals refers to the progression of micro-cracks due to repeated loading. Typically, it does not involve plastic deformation, making it a very troublesome phenomenon that can lead to sudden failure without any prior signs of settling or deformation. This concludes a rough explanation of static and dynamic loads and their evaluation methods.
