SOME SHOCK MOTIONS OF TWO DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM LINEAR SYSTEMS
Abstract
Damage sustained by equipment used in a moving carrier
suddenly changing its velocity can sometimes be attributed to inadequate
protective cushioning. Proper design of the protective
cushioning can be realized by reducing the equipment and components
to idealized mechanical systems and studying the responses as the
system parameters are varied. This study considers the response to
velocity shock with elastic impact. A set of design curves showing
maximum acceleration of a flexible and vulnerable element of an
equipment and the maximum deflection of the equipment's cushioning
are produced using an analog computer. Additionally the computer's
results are compared with analytical results for a few particular cases.
