What is it about?
Actual manuscript examines the disk springs with constant material thickness. The kinematic hypothesis is used for modelling. Motivating feature is the possibility to calculate the disk springs of with free gliding edges and the edges with the constrained radial movement. Variation formulations are used for derivation. The developed equations are suitable for springs made of isotropic materials, as spring steel and light metal alloys. The advantage of the methodology is the derivation of closed form solutions with restrictions on radial movement of inner and outer edges.

Why is it important?
The developed formulas are recommended for industrial calculations of free and restricted Belleville washers.
