Passive Shock Isolation Utilising Dry Friction

Figure 19

Measured displacement response of the thin secondary beam system with no friction and its comparison with simulation. (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) ODE simulation. Solid line: base input. Dashed line: response of the primary mass. Dash-dotted line: response at the secondary mass.
