196 Multibody Systems Approach to Vehicle Dynamics<br />

the fact that several components are in motion with different velocities<br />

when the modes of vibration are excited and thus are storing kinetic energy.<br />

For an appreciation of these and other differences between the simplified<br />

and detailed model, the kinetic and strain energy tables calculated by<br />

MSC.ADAMS can be examined in some detail. Table 4.9 shows the output<br />

from the calculations directly. It can be seen that the kinetic energy for the<br />

primary ride mode is contained almost entirely in the body mass. However,<br />

it will be noted that 472/0.985 479 kg; thus the kinetic energy table<br />

shows the contributions of the other components in the model to the modal<br />

mass. The largest of the other contributors to the modal mass are the suspension<br />

arms and damper. For the strain energy results, it can be seen that<br />

the compliance in the lower arm bushes and the damper lower bush contribute<br />

significantly to strain energy storage in the primary ride mode of<br />

vibration.<br />
