In a similar take on sprung masses and friction, it turns out that ENT+InitStrain in a zero length element is also an easy way to fake one-dimensional contact and impact. Consider Problem 14-23 from Hibbeler 14th edition. An 8 kg block, 2 m from a spring of stiffness 200 N/m, is given an initial velocity … Continue reading Faux Contact Sport

Two Sprung Masses and Some Friction Force
In Problem 13-13 from Hibbeler 14th edition, blocks A and B, of weight 8 lb and 6 lb, respectively, rest on a flat surface. A spring of stiffness 20 lb/ft is placed between the blocks. The blocks are pushed together, compressing the spring 0.2 ft, then the blocks are released to slide along the surface. … Continue reading Two Sprung Masses and Some Friction Force
