Question: Shown In The Figure Below Is A Simpli ed Dynamic Model …

Shown in the gure below is a simpli ed dynamic model for the wheel, suspension system and car body for
one-quarter of a car (often referred to as a quarter car model). The upper mass mc represents the mass of
one quarter of the car and the lower mass mw represents the mass of the wheel and tyre. ks and bs
represent the spring and damper coefficients of the vehicle’s suspension system and kt represents the
spring coefficient of the tyre, based on the tyre’s material properties and tyre pressure. The coordinate xr
represents the vertical pro le of the road, and coordinates xc and xw represent the vertical positions of the
car body and wheel with respect to the steady-state positions of these systems when stationary, but under
load from the weight force of the components.

diagrams, one for the car body and one for the wheel/tyre b. Derive the equations of motion for the quarter
car (differential equations for Xc and xw as a function of xc, x XC, X xr, ks, bs, kt, m and mw). Ensure your
equations account for the vertical pro le of the road represented by the position coordinate xr, to which the
wheel's spring and damper are assumed to problem
