MOTION OF A SPRING LOADED INFINITE ROD
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4100053
The effects of the elasticity and mass of the supporting structure on a spring shock-absorber system were investigated using a one-dimensional model. A mathematical analysis is given of the problem, which leads to the conclusions that: when the rod is more flexible than the springs, the elastic energy stored in the spring is reduced because of the inertial effect of the rod; and when the rod is stiffer than the springs, the elastic energy is reduced because of the greater mass of the moving system and the energy storage in the rod. The variation in the elasticity between the two systems must be pronounced before the latter effect can be of importance. (B.O.G.)
