In this paper an equivalent one-dimensional system for taper leaf springs (similar to those used in vehicle suspension systems) is developed so that results obtained from it are in good agreement with those obtained from the distributed parameter system. Curves which simplify the calculation of the parameters of the equivalent system are also provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
