Lesson 11: Mass-spring, Resonance and ode45
The objective of this lesson is to use Matlab and ode45 to model a very simple mass-spring system, which we could view as a model for the springs and shock absorbers on a truck or car. We will use Matlab to adjust the spring constants and shock absorber (damping) constants so as to avoid regions near resonance.
