Subject: Re: Vas parameter / counter intuitive?


andrewt

In your comprehensive tutorial, I noticed that you preferred the term
stiffness over its' inversely proportional counterpoint, compliance.

"The amount of stretch is a measure of the stiffness of the spring."

While technically correct , it triggers my dyslexia when the propensity
for something to stretch is described as its' stiffness, rather than its'
compliance. I think we're just having a_ is the glass half empty or half
full moment.

"The spring stifness is equivalent to Vas."

Therefore, from the inverse perspective, the springs "compliance" is
also equivalent to Vas. So we're talking about the cones inherent inertia
along its' suspension system.

I think I understand now.

Vas is that volume of (contained) air, that when acted upon, by (say)
pushing against an affixed, neutral membrane responds in a way
identical to that of pushing against the cone assembly itself.
