I am doing some analysis on a suspension system. The suspension system is braced on a metal rig. Force is applied to it by manually pumping up a bottle jack. The ram of the jack pushes a compression plate onto the bottom of the tyre carcass.
In order to measure the vertical force input I...
integration
I am struggling with the integration equation above...
I have looked at a couple of books on calculus but I am afraid I am lost!
W = S F(x) . d(x) = kx2
2
The k value i have is 3250N/m and the x value is 0.07m
If anyone could help me I...
I gave that a go and I have got a figure for the spring constant. Can anyone tell me what the 'd' stands for in the above equation. I apologise for my stupidity. I was always more artistically inclined...
spring constant
Thanks for your reply Crosson. Thanks for pointing out my school boy error.
I was trying to calcualte the spring constant on the system. The problem is a I don't know the springs extension when it is in equilibrium.
If I use F = kx the value for F and displacement will be...
Wonder if anyone can help?
I need to find out the maximum force experienced by a suspension system when it is traveling over a triangular speed bump.
I am doing a set of experiments on a suspension test rig and I would like to know the extremes of suspension forces.
The inital speed is...
