Hi folks, Looking for some torsional spring shapes to rotate some mirrors. In fact, the only ideas in hand are related either to the thin straight beams or folded springs (meanders). they are probably the only choices, but i didn't find any technical documentation to optimise the folded spring (size, number of meanders, eigenfrequency), which obviously would save a lot of time rather than running FEM packages... Any advices would be greatly appreciated fellas. By the way, I heard about roark's digitised formulas, does anyone have them or could tell me if we could rely on them and under which conditions... Many thanks in anticipation Sofiane --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Testez le nouveau Yahoo! Mail
