This paper investigates a novel design approach for a vibration isolator for use in space structures. The approach used can particularly be applicable for aerospace structures that support high precision instrumentation ...

A translational Lanchester damper is a device that adds damping to a structure at a point using a series combination of a viscous damper and a mass. The problem in the practical realisation of such a device is that a ...

A nonlinear spring element of a vibration isolator should ideally possess high static and low dynamic stiffness. A buckled beam may be a good candidate to fulfil this requirement provided its internal resonance frequencies ...

Mechanical shock is a common problem that is present in many situations, such as ground motion, blast, explosions, crash, and impact. The development of passive, active, or adaptive control and isolation strategies for ...
