Modelling and analysis of suspension systems 213 Equation 2 9f vs 436 6x 3 6z 435.157 (4.160) Equation 3 436f vs 9 6x 3 6y 1979.499 (4.161) This leaves us with four unknowns, 6x , 6y , 6z and f vs , but only three equations. We can use the same approach here as used with the tie rod in the preceding analysis. Since the spin degree of freedom of Body 6 about the axis C–I has no bearing on the overall solution we can again use the vector dot product to enforce perpendicularity of { 6 } 1 to {R CI } 1 as shown in Figure 4.71. This will yield the fourth equation as follows: { 6 } 1 • {R CI } 1 0 (4.162) ⎡ 3 ⎤ [ 6 6 6 ] ⎢ 9 ⎥ x y z 0mm/s ⎢ ⎥ ⎣⎢ 436⎦⎥ (4.163) Equation 4 3 6x 9 6y 436 6z 0 (4.164) The four equations can now be set up in matrix form ready for solution. The solution of a four by four matrix will require a lengthy calculation or access as before to a program that offers the capability to invert the matrix: ⎡ 3 0 436 9 ⎤ ⎡ f vs ⎤ ⎡ 120.555 ⎤ ⎢ 9 436 0 3 ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ 6 435.157 ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ x ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ (4.165) ⎢436 9 3 0 ⎥ ⎢6y ⎥ ⎢1979.499⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎣ 0 3 9 436⎦ ⎣6z ⎦ ⎣ 0 ⎦ Solving equation (4.165) yields the following answers for the four unknowns: f vs 4.561 s 1 6x 0.904 rad/s 6y 0.245 rad/s 6z 1.159 rad/s This gives us the last two angular velocity vectors upper and lower damper bodies: T { 6} 1 [ 0.904 0.245 1.159 ] rad/s T { 7} 1 [ 0.904 0.245 1.159 ] rad/s From equation (4.151) we now have ⎡ 3 ⎤ ⎡ 13.682 ⎤ VC 6C7 1 fvs RCI 4.561 ⎢ 9 ⎥ ⎢ 41.045 ⎥ mm/s 1 ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎣⎢ 436⎦⎥ ⎣⎢ 1988.378⎦⎥ { } { } (4.166) Since the velocity vector {V C6C7 } 1 acts along the axis of the strut C–I the magnitude of this vector will be equal to the sliding velocity V s : V s | V C6C7 | 1988.641 mm/s (4.167)
