Each slice is represented by an equivalent mass-spring system that consists of a mass, a spring and a dashpot connecting the mass to the base rock. The neighboring masses are then connected to each other along the tunnel axis by springs and dashpots to simulate the connection between the ...
Each mechanism appears as a spring/dashpot element in the model (Gilchrist and Mills, 1994). Figure 16.5a shows two load paths between the headform and the object struck. In the model (Fig. 16.5b) the links remain horizontal when the springs and dashpots deform. Load path 1 involves ben...
A spring has constant k = 1 N/m and a damping force that is two times the instantaneous velocity. A mass m is suspended from the spring. (a) Write a linear differential equation that models the motio Suppose that the ma...
Direct lumping gives an obvious way to account for nonstructural masses in simple discrete models of the spring-dashpot-point-mass variety. For example, in a multistory building “stick model” wherein each floor is treated as one DOF in lateral sway under earthquake or wind action, it is ...
Viscoelastic models are often visualized as different spring-dashpot combinations. In general, these models can be expressed with the following differential equation [119]: $$\begin{aligned} \sum _{k=0}^{m}p_k\frac{\mathrm{d}^k\sigma }{\mathrm{d}t^k} = \sum _{k=0}^{m}q_k\...
A spring hanging from the ceiling is stretched 10 centimeters by a 3 kg mass. The correct differential equation for the displacement x of t at time t is A spring with a 3 kg weight attached has a damping constan...

Suppose we have a mass-spring-dashpot system with corresponding differential equation x'' + 5x' + 10.25x = 2e^{-2.5t} \sin^2(t) , where x(t) is the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium p An object of ...
Similarly, galloping of iced conductors-TMD system can be simplified to the model shown in Figure 1(b): a galloping body immersed in an incoming flow is supported by an elastic spring and a dashpot. In addition, an added mass is connected to the galloping body by an elastic spring, which...
dashpot in parallel with the spring. In contrast to the more common case where one end of the spring is fixed, however, in the printer carriage mass/spring model system, the other end of the spring is not connected to mechanical ground. Instead, it is attached to the motor rotor, and ...
