Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 20

Displacement response of the thick secondary beam system with no friction. Thick solid line: simulation base input. Thick dashed line: response of a single-degree-of-freedom system. Thin solid line: experimental base input. Thin dashed line: response at the end of the primary beam. Thin dash-dotted line: response at the end of the secondary beam.
