PROJECT 5: Matlab Programming
Nose Wheel Suspension System

Problem Statement

Solve the 2 degree of freedom problem as outlined in the in-class problem use only one of odexx. 
Use an input file which allows you to change values of:
a) the stiffness coefficients
b) the weights of both masses
c) the damping coefficient
d) amplitude of bump
e) the time span

Change h(x) to h(t) using x=Vt
Begin solution with
h=0
y1 = 0 relative to equilibrium position
y2 = 0 relative to equilibrium position
y1dot = 0
y2dot = 0

Test you program for the following case
main spring length H= 4 ft (undeflected)
wheel radius R = .5 ft (undeflected)
a/c effective weight = 1000 lb
wheel weight = 10 lb
bump length L = 10 ft
speed = 30 ft/sec

Get the program to run for at least 2 reasonable conditions for k1, k2, c.
Use tspan sufficiently long to show effects of c

Submit

standard report including:
  1. source codes
  2. input files
  3. Graphs which show 2 velocities & 2 positions (relative to the ground plane)
