Fig. Q14.3 shows a simplified set up to determine the stiffness K and the damping coefficient, for a motorbike suspension. The suspension is fixed to a platform at one end, and a 20 kg mass is fixed to the other. It was noted that the suspension was compressed by 5 mm when the 20 kg was attached. The platform was then vibrated using a shaker giving the platform a motion given by; y = 6 sin 45 t mm. It was noted that the steady-state amplitude of vibration for M- 20 kg the 20 kg mass was 12 mm . Compute the value of K, and c. Ans : K=3.924 x 10ª N/m suspension C = 511.5 Ns/m platform FIG.

14.3) Fig. Q14.3 shows a simplified set up to determine the stiffness K and the damping coefficient, C,
for a motorbike suspension. The suspension is fixed to a platform at one end, and a 20 kg mass is
fixed to the other. It was noted that the suspension was compressed by 5 mm when the 20 kg
was attached. The platform was then vibrated using a shaker giving the platform a motion given by;
y = 6 sin 45 t mm.
It was noted that the steady-state amplitude of vibration for
M= 20 kg
the 20 kg mass was 12 mm. Compute the value of K, and C.
