- Three-step solution process in Section 2.2:
Step 1) The quarter car free-body diagrams.

Step 2) Equations of motion
\[m_b{\ddot{x}}_1\left(t\right)+b_s\left({\dot{x}}_1\left(t\right)-{\dot{x}}_2(t)\right)+k_s\left(x_1\left(t\right)-x_2\left(t\right)\right)=0\nonumber \]

Step 3) Transfer functions
\[X_1(s)=\dfrac{b_ss+k_s}{m_bs^2+b_ss+k_s}X_2(s)\nonumber \]
\[X_2\left(s\right)=\dfrac{1}{m_ws^2+b_ss+\left(k_s+k_w\right)}F\left(s\right)+\dfrac{b_ss+k_s}{m_ws^2+b_ss+(k_s+k_w)}X_1(s)\nonumber \]
- \[\dfrac{(J+mr^2)}{r}\ddot{x}\left(t\right)+\dfrac{b}{r}\dot{x}\left(t\right)=-τ(t)\nonumber \]
\[G_1\left(s\right)=\dfrac{Θ(s)}{T(s)}=\dfrac{1}{\left(J+mr^2\right)s^2+bs}=\dfrac{1}{s\left[\left(J+mr^2\right)s+b\right]}\nonumber \]
\[G_2\left(s\right)=\dfrac{X(s)}{T(s)}=\dfrac{-r}{\left(J+mr^2\right)s^2+bs}=\dfrac{-r}{s\left[\left(J+mr^2\right)s+b\right]}\nonumber \]

\[\ Γ\mathrm{(}\mathrm{t)}=\dfrac{l}{2}\left[ \begin{array}{c} \begin{array}{c} f^f_1\left(t\right)+2\sum^5_{j=2}{f^f_j\left(t\right)} \\ f^f_2\left(t\right)+2\sum^5_{j=3}{f^f_j\left(t\right)} \end{array} \\ \begin{array}{c} f^f_3\left(t\right)+2\sum^5_{j=4}{f^f_j\left(t\right)} \\ f^f_4\left(t\right)+2f^f_5\left(t\right) \\ f^f_5\left(t\right) \end{array} \end{array} \right] \label{2.210}\nonumber \]
- The following are the free body diagrams for \(J\) and \(m.\)

The equations of motion for \(J\) and \(m\) are as follows.
\[j\ddot{θ}\left(t\right)+b_m\dot{θ}\left(t\right)=τ\left(t\right)+rf(t)\nonumber \]
\[m\ddot{x}\left(t\right)=-rf\left(t\right), x\left(t\right)=rθ(t)\nonumber \]
b) The Laplace transforms of all of the equations are
\(\begin{array}{c} \begin{array}{ccc} I_a\left(s\right) & = & \dfrac{1}{L_as+R_a}\left(E_a\left(s\right)+E_m\left(s\right)\right) \ \\ T(s) & = & K_τI_a\left(s\right), E_m\left(s\right)\ =K_mΩ\left(s\right) \end{array} \\ \begin{array}{ccc} Ω\left(s\right) & = & \dfrac{1}{Js+b_m}\left(T\left(s\right)-T_l(s)\right), X\left(s\right)=\dfrac{-1}{ms^2}F(s) \ \\ Ω\left(s\right) & = & sΘ\left(s\right), \ X\left(s\right)=rΘ\left(s\right), sX\left(s\right)=rΩ(s) \ \end{array} \end{array}\) &
c) The system block diagram is

d) The equation of motion from \(E_a(s)\) to \(Θ(s)\) is \[G\left(s\right)=\dfrac{Θ(s)}{E_a(s)}=\dfrac{K_τ}{s\left\{(L_as+R_a)((J+ms^2)s+b_m)+K_τK_m\right\}}\nonumber \]
The linearized model at \(v_0=30\ m/sec\) is \[1000δ\dot{v}\left(t\right)+60.1δv\left(t\right)=δf_m\left(t\right) \to G\left(s\right)=\dfrac{ΔV(s)}{ΔF_m(s)}=\dfrac{1}{1000s+60.1}\nonumber \]
