If the spring isreleased, it expands to a radius R\ in which condition the external andthe internal moments are both zero. It is now possible by applyingthe same moment as was given by equation (21) to reduce the radiusof curvature again to Rq but without causing additional plastic added stress distribution produced by this second bending musttherefore follow a straight line as shown by 52-52, which togetherwith the residual stresses in the relaxed condition (radius R^ must THE SPRING CLUTCH 735.

The value of ^2 is of course so determined thatthe moment as specified by equation (21) is the same for the dotted-line as for the solid-line stress distribution. The value of Sr = S2 — Syp is relatively easy to determine forrectangular and round wire on the basis of the straight-line stress-straincharacteristic if the bending has been sufficiently severe to have causedplastic flow almost to the neutral axis. The moment given by theactual stress distribution will then differ but little from that obtainedby equation (21) with 5 replaced by Syp, a constant. The values of 5corresponding to the distribution are given by 5 = 2S2ylh. (22) For a r
