Step-by-Step Quarter-Car Model Simulation in MATLAB
In this post, we will model a 2-DOF quarter-car system composed of a tire stiffness spring, an unsprung mass, and a sprung mass supported by a suspension spring and damper. First, let's analyze the

Elasticity & Safety: From Hooke’s Law to Smart Design
What would happen if we couldn't predict how much weight a bridge could support? We would either be unable to build it at all or, worse, it could collapse under heavy traffic. To prevent such disasters, we must be able to quantify and predict how mat...
Why Do Materials Deform? Visualizing Stress and Strain with MATLAB
When designing bridges or mechanical components, how can we ensure they won’t deform or fail? To answer this, we must first understand the forces at play. Let’s dive into the types of loads first. Loads are primarily classified into static loads and ...
