note a and b are distances k1,k2,k3 are the spring stiffnesses with the rocker pivoting about k2 position. m1,m2,m3 not shown but go with k1,k2,k3. RE: blevins solution for centre pivot beam GregSmith (Mechanical) 22 Apr 03 01:08
These springs are in parallel with k1, to match the series resistor R1. 2b. k2 and k3 in parallel to form k23. k23 and k4 in series to form k5. k5 and k1 in parallel. 2c. k3 and k4 in series to form k34. k2 and k34 in parallel to from k234. k234 in series with k5 to form k6. k6 in parallel with k1. 3-5 are bookwork.
