SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a double mass-spring damper system in equilibrium for a CAE project. The user seeks assistance in calculating the spring constant (k) for the system, referencing the half car model and quarter car model as examples. The provided link to a project document offers additional context and details relevant to the design process. Effective equilibrium requires understanding the relationship between mass, damping, and spring constants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mass-spring damper systems
  • Familiarity with equilibrium concepts in mechanical systems
  • Knowledge of spring constant (k) calculations
  • Basic principles of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating spring constants in mass-spring systems
  • Study the dynamics of double mass-spring damper systems
  • Explore the half car and quarter car models in detail
  • Learn about equilibrium conditions in mechanical systems
USEFUL FOR

Students in CAE courses, mechanical engineers, and anyone involved in designing or analyzing mass-spring damper systems.

Hi!
I have this project on my CAE classes in which I have to design a system like this,
DSC_0197.jpg


which would be in equilibrium, so i guess that the masses should move with the constant amplitude. I have no idea how to calculate the k parameter, I tried to do this analogically to mass-spring damper system, but nothing good came out of it. Can anyone help? Would really aprreciate :)
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
http://people.clarkson.edu/~estradjm/FinalProjectDNS.pdf should help you. Look for "half car model" or "quarter car model" for more examples.
