The NVH and Experimental Mechanics Laboratory (NVHEM) at Kettering University invites applications for an immediate visiting scholar position to help in developing a nonlinear model for multibody simulations. The project is sponsored by one of the major automakers in Michigan.

How to classify vehicle parts into sprung and unsprung mass?

Submitted by vinay.warrier on Thu, 01/21/2010 - 05:36

I am currently working on deriving equations for different vehicle models using Lagrangian and Newtonian methods. I am need of parameters to test few MATLAB models, and in vague to know exactly how to classify the mass into sprung and unsprung. Similarly, how do I obtain the MOI separately for the unsprung mass?
