Thickness of Each Leaf given Initial Nip of Leaf Spring Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Leaf = (2*Force Applied at End of Leaf Spring*Length of Cantilever of Leaf Spring^3/(Modulus of Elasticity of Spring*Total Number of Leaves*Width of Leaf*Nip in Leaf Spring))^(1/3)
t = (2*P*L^3/(E*n*b*C))^(1/3)
This formula uses 7 Variables

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force Applied at End of Leaf Spring: 37500 Newton --> 37500 Newton No Conversion Required
Length of Cantilever of Leaf Spring: 500 Millimeter --> 0.5 Meter (Check conversion here)
Modulus of Elasticity of Spring: 207000 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 207000000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Total Number of Leaves: 18 --> No Conversion Required
Width of Leaf: 108 Millimeter --> 0.108 Meter (Check conversion here)
Nip in Leaf Spring: 13.5 Millimeter --> 0.0135 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (2*P*L^3/(E*n*b*C))^(1/3) --> (2*37500*0.5^3/(207000000000*18*0.108*0.0135))^(1/3)

Evaluating ... ...

t = 0.0119947251425132

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0119947251425132 Meter -->11.9947251425132 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

11.9947251425132 ≈ 11.99473 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Leaf
