Abstract
The stress distribution over the cross-section wire of helical springs is studied in this chapter. For simplification the pitch of the helical spring is neglected and the traditional representation of one coil as an incomplete torus is used. This model generalizes the Saint-Venant torsion problem of an elliptical straight rod accounting the curvature rod. The closed form solution for the torsion problem of an incomplete torus is discussed.
