There are direct parallels between mechanical systems, electrical circuits, and plumbing systems. Three totally different systems can be modeled by the same exact equations!
- compumike 14y agoYes -- exactly why electrical circuit simulation tools sometimes get used in non-electronics contexts. Here's a simulation of your spring-mass-dashpot system in CircuitLab (JS-based circuit simulator, which also works for some mechanical models like this): https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/pr4n2d/physics-car-suspension-pt-1-spring-mass-damper/ https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/pr4n2d/physics-car-suspen... We also have some combined electrical and thermal systems such as https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/a4xaa6/sous-vide-combined-thermal-system-and-control-loops/ https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/a4xaa6/sous-vide-combined... . Looking forward to the rest of your blog series!
