Description
Block Translational Spring It is an ideal mechanical linear spring described by the following equations:
Where:
-
— the force transmitted through the spring.
-
— coefficient of elasticity.
-
— relative displacement (spring deformation).
-
— initial displacement of the spring (initial deformation); the spring can be initially compressed ( ) or stretched ( ).
-
and — absolute positions of ports R and C, respectively.
-
— relative speed.
-
— Time.
The positive direction of the block is from port R to port C. This means that the force is positive if it acts in the direction from R to C.
Ports
R — pass port:q[<br>] translational mechanics
Mechanical translational port.
C — pass port:q[<br>] translational mechanics
Mechanical translational port.
