Thickness given Deflection in Leaf Spring Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Thickness of Section = ((3*Spring Load*Length in Spring^3)/(8*Deflection of Leaf Spring*Young's Modulus*Number of Plates*Width of Cross Section))^(1/3)
t = ((3*Wload*L^3)/(8*δLeaf*E*n*b))^(1/3)
This formula uses 7 Variables
Variables Used
Thickness of Section - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Section is the dimension through an object, as opposed to length or width.
Spring Load - (Measured in Newton) - Spring Load is the instantaneous load applied perpendicular to the specimen cross section.
Length in Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Length in Spring is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Deflection of Leaf Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Deflection of Leaf Spring is how a spring responds when force is applied or released.
Young's Modulus - (Measured in Megapascal) - Young's Modulus is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid substances. It describes the relationship between longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain.
Number of Plates - Number of Plates is the count of plates in the leaf spring.
Width of Cross Section - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Cross Section is the geometric measurement or extent of the member from side to side.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Spring Load: 85 Newton --> 85 Newton No Conversion Required
Length in Spring: 4170 Millimeter --> 4.17 Meter (Check conversion here)
Deflection of Leaf Spring: 494 Millimeter --> 0.494 Meter (Check conversion here)
Young's Modulus: 20000 Megapascal --> 20000 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Number of Plates: 8 --> No Conversion Required
Width of Cross Section: 300 Millimeter --> 0.3 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
t = ((3*Wload*L^3)/(8*δLeaf*E*n*b))^(1/3) --> ((3*85*4.17^3)/(8*0.494*20000*8*0.3))^(1/3)
Evaluating ... ...
t = 0.460217777402643
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.460217777402643 Meter -->460.217777402643 Millimeter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
460.217777402643 460.2178 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Section

What is Leaf Spring?

A Leaf Spring takes the form of a slender arc-shaped length of spring steel of rectangular cross-section. In the most common configuration, the center of the arc provides location for the axle, while loops formed at either end provide for attaching to the vehicle chassis. For very heavy vehicles, a leaf spring can be made from several leaves stacked on top of each other in several layers, often with progressively shorter leaves.
