  1. 2020-Shelton, Therese - Remote Teaching Module - Car Suspensions

    28 Jul 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Therese Shelton

    In this modeling activity, students examine the spring-mass-dashpot that is part of a car suspension. We model a "quarter car'', meaning a single wheel, and compare effects of different masses, spring constants, damping coefficients, and the angle at which the assembly is installed....
