time/s
Problem 4. Consider the nonlinear mass-spring-dashpot system
mq(t)+c|q(t)|q(t)+k1q(t)+k2q3(t)=u(t)
where q(t) is the position of the mass, u(t)=5sin3tN is an external force, m=2kg is the mass, c=0.5kgm is the drag damping coefficient, k1=3kgs2 is the linear stiffness, k2=5kgm2?s2 is the cubic stiffness, and |*| denotes absolute value. The differential equation (1) is nonlinear and difficult to solve analytically.
Use Matlab's ODE45 function or Simulink to solve the differential equation (1), where the initial conditions are q(0)=0.2m and q(0)=0.1ms. Plot q(t) and q(t) for 10 s . Please turn in a hardcopy of: (i) the Matlab m-file that runs the simulation, (ii) the Matlab function or Simulink model that codes the differential equations, and (iii) the plot of q(t) and q(t) with all axes correctly labeled and with units specified.
Hint: The Matlab function for absolute value is 'abs()' and the absolute value block in Simulink is under 'Math Operations'.
