Figure 1 shows a basic model of an automobile, travelling over horizontal road. The car has a mass M, and a mass moment of inertia Jo= Ma(measured with respect to the center of gravity (c.g)). The vertical displacement of the center of gravity is e(t), and the rotation is e(t) (measured with respect to the position of static equilibrium). The total stiffness at the front wheels is equal to ki and the total stiffness at the rear wheels is ke....
8.9 An automobile with four wheels is about to pass over a speed bump as shown in the insert in Eigure 8.35a. The velocity of the vehicle at that time is 10 km/h. The vehicle is supported by a suspension system that consists of one coilover per wheel (a coilover is a combination of a shock absorber, or a damper, enclosed by a coil spring). The analytical model of the suspension system is illustrated in Figure 8.35b. The mass of...

Please help. (3) An automobile running on 4 wheels is about to pass over a speed bump that has a cross section that fits to a sine function of y(x)-5sinßx with B being a constant, and with a maximum width w 8 cm. as illustrated in Figure 1(a). The velocity of the automobile is 20 km/hr at the time of passing over the bump. The vehicle is supported by a suspension system that is consists of one coilover for each...
Homework problem! Need help fast Example 2: Figure below shows the principle of a vibration damper. The main platform (mass mi) is suspended on a spring/damper system. The suspension has the spring conn Di and the friction coefficient RF. On the platform is a device that produces oscillatioss such as a vibrating sieve (indicated by the dashed box in Figure). The oscillabory force im- posed on the platform by the device can be described as Fit)-Fn(t) D. m. D2 The...

PROBLEM I- (3 pts) Figure below represents a suspension system of vehicle. It is composed by a rigid half axle that pivots about a fixed point o. A support, which consists of a massless spring (with stiffness k) and a damper (with damping coefficient b) coaxially placed, is pivoted on the half shaft at one end and the body at the other end. Neglect the masse of the half shaft and assume the equilibrium position of the system to be...
