A novel shock isolation strategy for base excited system is presented by introducing a two-degree-of-freedom model with passive friction, where the friction is applied to an attached mass instead of directly to the primary isolated mass. The model is evaluated against the benchmark case of single-degree-of-freedom system with friction applied directly to the primary isolated mass. The performances of the models are compared in terms of the maximum displacement response and the acceleration during the application of the shock input for the case when the shock input duration is approximately equal to the natural period of the system (amplification region). From the results, the two-degree-of-freedom model can produce both maximum displacement reduction and smoother acceleration at the point of motion transition. An experimental rig was built to validate the theoretical results against the experimental results; it is found that the experimental results closely match the theoretical predictions.
A control strategy is presented incorporating friction which can be adapted within a cycle of vibration. During base shock input, the friction is switched on and off based on specified response parameters. The predicted response of a semi active system is compared with that of a passive isolation system. The strategy is shown to produce an improved displacement reduction and a smaller maximum displacement compared to the base input; a result which cannot be obtained with a typical passive system. The models are then validated using an experimental rig, representing a two degree of freedom system, having an electromagnet to switch on and off friction via the control logic. Good agreement is obtained in addition to identifying optimum parameter choices.
