    This document discusses mechanical translation systems and their components. It describes three main elements: mass, elastance (spring), and damping (dashpot). Mass represents inertia and reacts to applied forces with equal acceleration. Elastance provides a restoring force proportional to deformation. Damping absorbs energy and its force is proportional to relative velocity. Diagrams show the network representations and equations for each element. The document also introduces mechanical translation symbols, units, simple and multiple element systems, and mechanical-electrical analogs.

    • It obeys Newton’s law that the sum of the forces equals
    zero; that is, the sum of the applied forces must be equal
    to the sum of the reactive forces. The three qualities
    characterizing elements in a mechanical translation
    (means motion in a straight line) system are mass,
    elastance, and damping.

    The network representation of
    Mass mass is shown in the given figure.

    The mass M is the inertial


    element. A force applied to a
    mass produces an acceleration of
    the mass. The reaction force fm is
    equal to the product of mass and
    acceleration and is opposite in

    The network representation of a
    Elastance (Spring) spring is shown below.

    The elastance, or stiffness, K


    provides a restoring force as
    represented by a spring. Thus, if
    stretched, the string tries to
    contract; if compressed, it tries to
    expand to its normal length. The
    reaction force fk on each end of The force equation, in
    the spring is the same and is accordance with Hooke’s law is
    equal to the product of the fk = K(xc – xd).
    stiffness K and the amount of
    deformation of the spring.
    The reaction damping force fB is
    Damping (Dashpot) approximated by the product of
    damping B and the relative velocity
    The damping, or viscous, friction of the two ends of the dashpot. The
    B characterizes the element that direction of this force, given by,
    absorbs energy. The damping
    force is proportional to the
    difference in velocity of two
    bodies. The assumption that the
    viscous friction is linear simplifies
    the solution of the dynamic fB = B(ve – vf) = B(Dxe – Dxf)
