Question
A simplified SDOF model of a vehicle suspension system is shown in below Figure.
The mass of the vehicle is 500 kg. The suspension spring has a stiffness of
100,000 N/m. The wheel is modeled as a spring placed in series with the
suspension spring. When the vehicle is empty, its static deflection is measured as
5 cm.
(a) Determine the equivalent stiffness of the wheel
(b) Determine the equivalent stiffness of the spring combination.
(c) Determine the natural frequency fn of the system
