A Simplified model to study PORPOISING


From Simulink to simulate this spring-mass equation

From CFD Simulations
Ride Height


Porpoising Motion Analysis using SIMULINK


SIMULINK EQUIVALENT OF THE EQUATIONS USED TO MODEL THE PORPOISING MOTION


Displacement of car's body from mean position (m) vs time (s)
Porpoising starts at this point
Vibrations are damped down due to dampers(controlled by "c" damping co-efficient) used in the model
