Abstract

The aim of the paper is the dynamic analysis of selected models of running gear by using MATLAB/Simulink. This paper concerns with numerical approach to a vehicle vertical vibration based on kinematic excitation. Kinematic variables calculation is demonstrated on the quarter three-mass dynamic model with additional shock absorber and spring. There is mathematical model that is numerically solved in MATLAB and is illustrated here together with the simulation in Simulink by block scheme. The results could be used for teaching purposes.
