This demonstration stand shows a dependence of the velocity of a mass on a nonlinear spring. There are a few nonlinear equations that can be selected in "Configuration" window.
If you want to define your own non-linear spring, use "Add" button at the bottom of the program frame. To the right of the button you can set the parameters of the spring in the format
, where is the coefficient of a nonlinear term, is the degree of nonlinearity. Each term of the equation is displayed as a button. By clicking the button you can remove a part of the equation.
