Science and Education Publishing American Journal of Mechanical Engineering 1 7 2013 11 26 Analysis of Failures of Leaf Springs on the Continuous Casting Machines 304 308 EN František Trebuňa Jozef Bocko Department of Applied Mechanics and Mechatronics, Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Košice, Slovakia František Šimčák Marián Buršák AJME20131730 10.12691/ajme-1-7-30 2013 10 30 2013 11 15 2013 11 26 At the first look very simple and for several hundred years used elastic element can be critical part in complex equipment where its failure invokes extraordinary high losses. In the paper is given a treatment for the solution of spring failure problem by experimental methods of stress analysis and resulting proposals for its final solution.
