Hello All,

This is a topic, though it seems relatively simple, that I have not found much information on. That is the topic of how a linear spring (ie not a torsional spring) elongates/contracts due to a twisting of one of its ends.

When a linear spring is fixed at one end, and a twisting is applied to the free end, an elongation or shortening occurs. I assume this depends on factors such as filar diameter, helical angle, etc. but I have not found specifics. Anyone have good sources?
