Question:

A multiple-leaf spring used in automobiles is shown in Fig. 12.17. It consists of five leaves, each of thickness \(t=0.65 \mathrm{~cm}\) and width \(w=3.8 \mathrm{~cm}\). For the multiple-leaf spring described in Fig. 12.17, derive the assembled stiffness and mass matrices. Consider only one-half of the spring for modeling using five beam elements of equal length.
