I saw a vendors catalog for a beveled washer that stated the deflection was non-linear. Does anyone have any information or know the equation for calculate the deflection of a flat thin steel washer? I would like to look at the deflection for individual shims as well as stacked for a given force. It will be supported on the OD and loaded through the ID. For example Washer 0.15mm thick 17mm OD 8mm ID Support contact 16mm OD contact Load contact 11mm ID contact
Most belleville washer manufacturers will have the formulas in their catalogues, but you are better off using real test data if it is available. Try someone like Key Bellevilles.
