Design considerations for the bumper B on the 5-Mg train car require use of a nonlinear
Chapter 14, Problem 14-12(choose chapter or problem)
Design considerations for the bumper B on the 5-Mg train car require use of a nonlinear spring having the load-deflection characteristics shown in the graph. Select the proper value of k so that the maximum deflection of the spring is limited to 0.2 m when the car, traveling at 4 m/s, strikes the rigid stop. Neglect the mass of the car wheels.
