Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 25

(a) Displacement response of the thick secondary beam system with intermediate friction. Thick solid line: base input. Thick dashed line: measured response at the end of the primary beam. Thick dash-dotted line: measured response at the end of the secondary beam. Thin dashed line: ODE simulation mass response, . Thin dash-dotted line: ODE simulation mass response, . (b) Displacement response of the thick secondary beam system with high friction. Solid line: base input. Dashed line: response at the end of the primary beam. Dash-dotted line: response at the end of the secondary beam.
