1. Compression springs

The rubber compression spring is generally shaped like a prism or cylinder, with one base resting on a flat cup and the other base loaded by a force P via another flat cup.

Given the cross-section S of the prism or cylinder, its stress in each cross-section is : $σ = \frac{P}{S}$

The compression ratio is : $a = \frac{f}{H_{l}} = \frac{H_{l} - H}{H_{l}}$
