Abstract
Abstract. Two-degree of freedom system, or two-stage mount are used to improve the high frequency vibration isolation performance with the disadvantage of increasing the mass of the system and adding a second resonance. The vibration isolation property is a well-understood topic for harmonic vibration considering linear and nonlinear elements, but not its shock response. The absolute and relative response of a two-stage mount under shock excitation is investigated in this paper. Analysing the effect of the mass ratio between the two-stage, and its respective viscous damping. The potential advantages and issues behind this system are discussed and compared with the single mount. Experimental validation was performed using two commercial isolator and different masses. Findings suggested that a large secondary mass could reduce the shock response in terms of absolute motion. This effect is only significant for the case of short pulses and when the added mass is at least five times greater than the main mass. Being useful to have light damping only on the secondary stage.
