    3-010-EnergyInSpringMassSystem-ModlingScenario
    As a way to synthesize the effects of damping and forcing terms, this activity is meant to encourage students to explore how different forcing terms will change the total energy in a mass-spring system.

    2020-TeachingModule-SpringDesignToMeetSpecsAtMinimumCosts
    We discuss a Modeling Scenario in which students are asked to design a spring mass system at minimum costs give relative costs of features of the spring.

    2023-Roberto_Camassaa-Richard_McLaughlina-Tauberian identities and the connection to Wile E Coyote physics
    The application of the motion of a vertically suspended mass-spring system released under tension is studied focusing upon the delay timescale for the bottom mass as a function of the spring constants and masses.

    5-014-TwoSpringMass-ModelingScenario
    We ask students to build a Free Body Diagram for a vertical two mass situation in which the two masses are held fixed at the tip and at the bottom. The mass holds the springs together at the join of the two springs in between.

    3-001-SpringMassDataAnalysis-ModelingScenario
    We offer data on position of a mass at end of spring over time where the spring mass configuration has damping due to taped flat index cards at the bottom of the mass. Modeling of a spring mass configuration and estimation of parameters are the core.

    1989-R_Blickhan-Spring Mass Model For Running-Hopping
    A simple spring—mass model consisting of a massless spring attached to a point mass describes the interdependency of mechanical parameters characterizing running and hopping of humans as a function of speed.

    3-091-SpringModeling-ModelingScenario
    In this lab students will collect data on their spring mass systems and compare their empirical models to their theoretical ones—giving them an opportunity to actually test a model against data.

    5-040-TunedMassDampers-PartII-ModelingScenario
    Studentsbuild mathematical models to mitigate dangerous swaying in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD). We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot with stiffness replacing spring...

    2013-Boscolo-Stellato-Undergraduate study of harmonic and parametric motion of a simple spring-mass system from motion waveforms
    In this paper, we describe a laboratory exercise that caters to beginning students while giving those with more background an opportunity to explore more complex aspects of the motion.

    3-060-DataToDifferentialEquation-ModelingScenario
    Students use knowledge of second-order linear differential equations in conjunction with physical intuition of spring-mass systems to estimate the damping coefficient and spring constant from data.

    3-031-SpringCost-ModelingScenario
    We assume students are familiar with overdamping and underdamping of a spring-mass-dashpot system. Students will apply this knowledge to model the interplay between spring constant, tolerance, and cost.
