Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 23

Displacement response of the thin secondary beam system with high friction. (a) Measured. Solid line: base input. Dashed line: response at the end of the primary beam (sensor 2). Dash-dotted line: response at the end of the secondary beam (sensor 3). Dotted line: response at the end of the secondary beam (sensor 4). (b) Simulation with high Coulomb friction. Solid line: base input and response of the secondary mass. Dashed line: response of the primary mass.
