Are of a particularly simple kind known as simple harmonic motion (SHM). This occurs whenever the disturbance to the system is countered by a restoring force that is exactly proportional to the degree of disturbance.

S an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed

Come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.

Are typically made from round wires, wrapped around into a cylindrical form with a constant pitch between adjacent coils. Square or rectangular wires may also be used.

Appear to be similar to compression springs, having a series of coils wrapped around into a straight, cylindrical form. However, the coils either touch or are closely spaced under the no load condition. Then as the external tensile load is applied, the coils separate

This type of spring incorporate a standard helical compression spring with two looped wire devices inserted through the inside of the spring

Spring that is used to exert a torque as the spring is deflected by rotation about its axis.

Widely used in automotive and railway industries such as the truck suspension arrangement. It is usually made from one or more flat strips of brass, bronze, steel, or other materials loaded as cantilever or simple beams. They can provide a push or pull force as they are deflected from their free condition.

Has the shape of a shallow, conical disk with a central hole. It is sometimes called a Belleville because its appearance is similar to that of a flat washer.

Coiled wires formed into a continuous ring shape so that they exert a radial force around the periphery of the object to which ther are applied.

These type of springs take the form of a coiled strip. The force required to pull the strip off the coil is virtually constant over a long length of pull.

Consists of a helical pattern with an incorporated wave. Wave springs have been used for a variety of industrial application, such as in valves, bearings etc. Wave springs are used instead of helical compression springs when compact designs are required, as wave springs generate the same spring rates as helical springs but require up to one half the axial space

Are special types of foundations required for machines, machine tools and heavy equipments which have wide range of speeds, loads and operating conditions. These foundations are designed considering the shocks and vibrations (dynamic forces) resulting from operation of machines.

Concrete foundation which is formed by pouring the entire concrete mixture continuously at one time allowing the structure to harden as a whole unit

The process of filling a small clearance between machine and foundation, after machine is aligned and leveled, by the using of a special hardening mixture.
