Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Table 1

The value of friction which produces the smallest maximum displacement response of the primary mass as the stiffness ratio is varied and the corresponding displacement response. The SDOF undamped system response for comparison is .

Stiffness ratio,	Nondimensional friction at which the smallest maximum displacement occurs,	Nondimensional primary mass displacement,
0.4	0.6	1.56
2.5	3.1	1.3
10	5.3	0.99
250	4.2	0.98
