Landing Stiffness Spring-Mass Model Calculator

Calculate leg spring stiffness during landing using the spring-mass model. k = F_peak / delta_L (vertical displacement). Higher stiffness increases power return but also impact forces.

How It Works

Calculate leg spring stiffness during landing using the spring-mass model. k = F_peak / delta_L (vertical displacement). Higher stiffness increases power return but also impact forces

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Spring-mass model — The spring-mass model recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the landing stiffness result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the spring-mass model for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate leg spring stiffness during landing using the spring-mass model. k = F_peak / delta_L (vertical displacement). Higher stiffness increases power return but also impact forces. Use the landing stiffness result to inform your calculation.
