Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 5

The maximum displacement response of the two masses in the friction system under a versed sine base input for different levels of friction. The solid line is the primary mass displacement and the dashed line is the secondary mass displacement. The dash-dotted line is the relative displacement, mass ratio , pulse length , nondimensional base input magnitude , and stiffness ratio . (a) , (b) , (c) , and (d) .
