Traditional Japanese bows are composite (clad) materials made up of bamboo and wood with very high flexibility. Each bow is composed of multi arcs with different radius of curvature and cross sectional areas along with the length. In using the Japanese bows there are three stages. At first the bow is free standing, then, it is constrained negatively using the chord. The bow is then loaded to form various shapes. Although the shape of archery is similar, Japanese bows are not symmetrical, and the grip is off center, therefore, the characteristic and dynamics of Japanese bows are very complicated. In recent years, large deformation analyses of the flexible bows have attracted attention considerably because of both analytical and technological interests in the design of bows and arrows. In this study, the details of the simulation results of Japanese bows obtained in using a simplified model treated as a nonlinear flexible beam with a large deformation are presented using the elliptic integral derived from Elastica theory. From this investigation, some interesting and valuable information are obtained. Furthermore, using a flexible thin PVC beam specimen, a large deformation experiment is performed to confirm the applicability of the large deformation theory proposed here. The experimental results closely matches that of the theoretical values. Therefore, this analysis is useful in improving the design of bows. This study would be useful to develop technique of Japanese bows in the field of the so-called sports-leisure.

Traditional Japanese bows have a laminated structure made up of highly flexible bamboo and wood. Each bow is composed of multi arcs having different cross sectional areas along the length and also with different radii of curvature. Three stages setting procedure is required before shooting a Japanese bow. At first the bow is standing free, then, it is bent and constrained to have negative curvature using the bow string (chord), and finally formed into various shapes having positive curvature. Japanese bows does not have a symmetrical shape, and the position of the grip is also shifted from the center of the bow. Therefore, the deformation characteristics and the dynamics to analyze Japanese bows are very complicated. In recent years, large deformation analyses of the flexible bows have attracted attention considerably because of both analytical and technological interests in the design of bows and arrows. This study presents the details of the theoretical analysis results of Japanese bows obtained by using a simplified model consisting of multi arc segments. Each segment is treated as a large deformable nonlinear flexible beam and deformation analysis of individual arc segments is done by using the elliptic integral derived from Elastica theory. Furthermore, in order to confirm the applicability of the proposed large deformation theory, a large deformation experiment is performed. As a result, the theoretical analysis shows a very good agreement with the experimental results for the large deformed shape of the bow, which was restrained and loaded on the string. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of Japanese bow and arrow with regard to the parameters such as the radius of curvature and bow arc ratio is evaluated.

The Votta’s equation is usually used for constant-force spiral spring. But the calculated result is not consistent with experiment. One of the main factor comes from the value of Young’s modulus. Generally, Young’s modulus measured by tensile test, does not quite correspond to the value by bending test. We measure the Young’s modulus by bending once more to verify the validity of equations. Furthermore, we point out some logical mistakes in Votta’s equation.We formulate the rigorous equation considering variable load, and then simplify this assuming constant load for practical design.

In recent years, leisure activities, such as tennis, golf, skiing, fishing, etc. are very popular. The performance of various instruments used in such leisure activities is also greatly improved. Scientific analysis on the function of such instruments is essential in order to develop practical instruments in the field of sports-leisure. Various experiential studies that clarify the characteristics of fishing rods have been published. However, there are very few scientific studies about fishing rods in the field of the so-called sports-leisure. This study deals with large deformation of fishing rods that would be useful in the development of the characteristic design of fishing rods. In this report, based on the nonlinear large deformation theory, new fundamental equations are introduced for thin, straight tapered fishing rods with a circular cross-section under concentrated loads at the free end. As a result, it is found that the large deformations of fishing rods can be described by nondimensional load parameters, the ratio of rod diameter at end and bottom, and supporting angles. Furthermore, the experimental verification of this analysis is carried out using a flexible rod acquired in the market. The theoretically predicted results are in fairly good agreement with the experimental data. Consequently, the new deformation theory is proved to be of practical use.

Coil springs with rectangular wire cross section, named ‘rectangular wire coil springs’, can store more strain energy than circular wire coil springs in limited space. Therefore, they have been used mainly in press dies and other special machine tools. Recently, rectangular wire coil springs come to have different uses like suspension springs in which light weight design are demanded. On the other hand, it is necessary to reduce the number of coils by adopting the large pitch angle with improved strength of wires. However, in the stress and the spring constant formulae for rectangular wire coil springs derived by Liesecke in 1930's, the effects of the pitch angle are not considered. Therefore, as pitch angle becomes larger, the difference between the calculated results and experiment becomes outstanding. Though we have design formulae for rectangular wire coil springs of large pitch angle proposed by Watanabe et al., they are the formulation of the results by FEM analysis. In other words, theoretical derivation of the design formulae for the rectangular wire coil spring has not been performed yet. In this research, new design formulae are derived theoretically. Furthermore, the validity of the new design formulae is presented in this research by comparing the results with experiment and improved FEM analysis.

A tapered coil spring is the one whose wire diameter isn't constant and continuously changes. The spring possesses the non-linear stiffness which increases with increasing the load applied. Although its application is the axle spring for railway car because of passively changing the stiffness under the applied load that relates the number of passengers, making formula is difficult due to the gradually diameter change of tapered wires. Finite element method has often been applied to the analysis of mechanics for the springs and it should be found the appropriate end turn shape of the springs for real deformation of the coil and we found the optimized end turn for constant deformation. The stiffness of the spring follows the approximate formula on each region in different diameter before contact between wires and the formula on the region of thick wire after contact. The stiffness of the spring actually could be determined for varying the pitch and predicted using finite element method.

For the purpose of analyzing the characteristic of spiral spring, knowing the free shape of spring is indispensable. And to get the free shape of spring needs to analyze on elasticplastic method with geometric non-linearity. But the practical importance for the spring characteristic is the liner zone without both side-ends. If extrapolating liner field to both non-linear zones asuming affine linearity,we are able to analize the spring charactristic only by elasticplastic analysis at both-ends without the necessity of considering geometric nonlinerlity . So we can analyze by easy procedure as compared with traditional integral formulation. This calculation results agree with experimental one in two kind sample springs.

Recently the downsizing and the weight saving of mechanical structures asked for springs lighter, and the light metal alloys are paid attention to as spring materials. Magnesium is the lightest in the practical metals, and it is excellent in the damping capacity. But the tensile strength and the proof stress of the pure magnesium is much lower than the ones for other spring materials. Hence, it is necessary to improve its strength by alloying, hardning, heat treatment, and by other processes. The workabilities of magnesium alloy springs had not been studied, too. Therefore the authors studied the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ31 and made coil springs from wires of a magnesium alloy AZ31 by a lathe type coiling machines. The workabilities of coils were studied. The effects of annealing on the dimensions of the coils and on the spring property were also studied. The main results are as follows;(1) Magnesium alloy wire AZ31 is much inferior to other spring wires, but not much inferior in specific strength because of small specific gravity.(2) It was possible to form coil of about 5.0 in spring index from wires of a magnesium alloy AZ31 by a lathe type coiling machines, so wires of a magnesium alloy AZ31 fill the workabilities as spring wires.(3) In magnesium alloy wire AZ31 the spring back of coil diameter is large compared with other spring steel wires.(4) By annealing the outside diameter increases but the free length hardly changes.(5) When the annealing temperature is over 180(°C), the elastic limit of coiled springs deteriorates.

Coiled wave springs (CWS) are considered as multiple layered waved washers. They are light but powerful in limited spaces. In recent years, CWS have been applied to clutches of automobiles and expected to be applied to other uses. The formulas on the spring rates and stresses of CWS have been presented by an American spring maker of Smalley Steel Ring Company, Nishio, and Japan Spring Manufacturers Association (for short, JSMA). But none of them are practical, because the accuracy is not enough. Moreover the derivations of the formulas are not clear in the case of Smalley and JSMA. It has been observed that CWS show nonlinear spring characteristics in large deflection, however, the cause has not been made clear. In this research, spring rates and stresses for CWS are analyzed theoretically. A cause of the nonlinear spring characteristics is made clear, too. Then empirical formulas on the spring rates and stresses are derived by comparing the theoretical results with experiments and FEM analysis.
