Question
A 225kN test aircraft moving with velocity v = Xo = 25 km/h collides with a rigid
barrier at t = 0. As a result of the behaviour of its energy absorbing capabilities, the
response of the aircraft to the collision can be simulated by the damped spring- mass
oscillator shown with k = 3MN/m and c = 840 kN. s/m. Assume that the mass is
moving to the left with a velocity vo = xo = 25 km/h and the spring is unstretched at
t = 0 determine the aircraft's deceleration:
a) Immediately after it contacts the barrier;
b) att = 0.04s and;
c) at t= 0.08s.
