Thanks Thanks SGT!, you've been very helpful. I will try to solve the equations by iteration on the weekend.

Further help SGT: As I said I am grateful for your help. Yet, I have been working on the equations you posted, but I cannot obtain an eauation for x1(t), x2(t) and v1(t), v2(t) from the mentioned sistem of equations. I would appreciate very much further help on the issue. Regards. Arildno: I...

Thanks again Thank you Arildno. What I am really wanting to know is which one of the two vehicles stops first, an their speeds at any moment. On the one hand, if the total kinetic energy of the system if lower than the potential energy that the system of springs is able to absorb, one of the...

Thanks I thank you very much for your reply SGT. I will do some calculations and ask again if any questions arise.

Further work on the model Hi, I did some further work on the model, and modified it by adding a mass in front of each spring, so that in the moment of the collision the system would look as in the attached figure. Now I have an important question to ask to anyone who is interested in the...

Hi, I need to know where I can find information on the web so as to analytically solve the system on the attached jpg where: m1, m2 are the values of each mass v1, v2 are the speeds of each mass K1, K2 are the stiffness coefficient of each spring L1, L2 are the lenghts of each spring...
