Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 24

(a) Comparison between measured displacement responses at the end of the primary beam with different levels of friction for the case of the thin secondary beam. (b) Comparison between measured velocity responses at the end of the primary beam with different levels of friction for the case of the thin secondary beam. Solid line: base input. Dashed line: no friction. Dash-dotted line: intermediate friction. Dotted line: high friction.
