Abstract

Standard hydraulic buffers are designed to produce a nearly uniform force so that the work load is equitably shared over the whole stroke. Such designs depend upon the impact mass to be presented to the buffer. If the actual impact mass is greater than the design value then the resulting force has a high peak at closure of the buffer. Occasionally impact conditions have two buffers of different mass-rating in series. This paper shows that such combinations behave like a single uniform-force buffer until one of them closes. The safe impact mass of the combination is established.
