Analysis of Frequency and Damping Ratio on the Shock Isolation Efficiency

Abstract

The traditional shock isolation system is only designed in stiffness regardless of damping, which causes acute contradiction between absolute acceleration amplitude and relative displacement amplitude. Based on the single degree of freedom negative shock isolation system, numerical analysis demonstrates that relative little amplitude of absolute acceleration and relative displacement could be attained within a certain range of damping and frequency ratio. Selecting appropriate damping and stiffness of vibration isolator can resolve contradiction between absolute acceleration amplitude and relative displacement amplitude and consequently improve shock isolation efficiency.
