Problem 1) Derive the equations of motion of the vehicle in the following form: [M]+ {C}{x} + {k}{x}= ({}+(3:{*} Where K, and C are the rear tires stiffness and suspension system's damping constants respectively at the distance Ls from the mass center (M.C.) and K2, C2 are the front tires stiffness and suspension system's damping constants respectively at the distance L2 from the mass center. The vector {x} = {3} measured from the average equilibrium position. Mass of the vehicle...
Consider a single degree of freedom (SDOF) with mass-spring-damper system subjected to harmonic excitation having the following characteristics: Mass, m = 850 kg; stiffness, k = 80 kN/m; damping constant, c = 2000 N.s/m, forcing function amplitude, f0 = 5 N; forcing frequency, ωt = 30 rad/s. (a) Calculate the steady-state response of the system and state whether the system is underdamped, critically damped, or overdamped. (b) What happen to the steady-state response when the damping is increased to 18000 N.s/m? (Hint: Determine...
