Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 21

Comparison of the free vibration response of the beam system with the analytical solutions to estimate the value of friction. Solid line: response at the end of the primary beam (sensor 2). Dashed line: response at the end of the secondary beam (sensor 3). Dash-dotted line: free vibration response of the primary mass response with friction estimated. Dotted line: free vibration response of the secondary mass response with friction estimated.
