The following table gives formula for the spring that is equivalent to a system of two springs, in series or in parallel, whose spring constants are and . [1] The compliance c {\displaystyle c} of a spring is the reciprocal 1 / k {\displaystyle 1/k} of its spring constant.)
Classic model used for deriving the equations of a mass spring damper model. The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity.
A spring system can be thought of as the simplest case of the finite element method for solving problems in statics. Assuming linear springs and small deformation (or restricting to one-dimensional motion) a spring system can be cast as a (possibly overdetermined) system of linear equations or equivalently as an energy minimization problem.
The first, referred to as the Maxwell arm, contains a spring (=) and dashpot (viscosity ) in series. [2] The other system contains only a spring ( E = E 1 {\displaystyle E=E_{1}} ). These relationships help relate the various stresses and strains in the overall system and the Maxwell arm:
Diagram of a Maxwell material The Maxwell model is represented by a purely viscous damper and a purely elastic spring connected in series, [ 4 ] as shown in the diagram. If, instead, we connect these two elements in parallel, [ 4 ] we get the generalized model of a solid Kelvin–Voigt material .
If a system initially rests at its equilibrium position, from where it is acted upon by a unit-impulse at the instance t=0, i.e., p(t) in the equation above is a Dirac delta function δ(t), () = | = =, then by solving the differential equation one can get a fundamental solution (known as a unit-impulse response function)
An example of a signal-flow graph Flow graph for three simultaneous equations. The edges incident on each node are colored differently just for emphasis. An example of a flow graph connected to some starting equations is presented. The set of equations should be consistent and linearly independent. An example of such a set is: [2]
A schematic diagram of a shock wave situation with the density , velocity , and temperature indicated for each region.. The Rankine–Hugoniot conditions, also referred to as Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions or Rankine–Hugoniot relations, describe the relationship between the states on both sides of a shock wave or a combustion wave (deflagration or detonation) in a one-dimensional flow in ...
