    Composite C Springs for Anti-Seismic Building Suspension: Positioning Virtual Center of Pendulation above Gravity Center
    Author(s): Max Sardou*, Patricia Sardou and Thomas Berg

    Now that weight saving is mandatory, composite springs invented by SARDOU SA are the best choice for automotive suspensions, compared to steel. A Joint Venture called Sara was created in order to mass produce composite coils springs, with start of production in 2014 for AUDI. This has demonstrated that the viability of producing composite coil springs. This paper describes the benefits of composite ‘C’ springs and ‘S’ springs for high performance vehicle suspensions, spacecraft stage separation, and satellite orbital launching. Developing spacecraft stage separation for CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) used the concept of ‘line of action’. Two springs are inclined in such a way that the resultant line of action cross at a virtual center well above the springs. This virtual center is above the top stage which provides.. Read More»
