Electromagnetic shunt damping for shock isolation of nonlinear vibration isolators

Electromagnetic shunt damping (EMSD) can effectively suppress structural vibrations of linear systems. However, the effects of EMSD on shock isolation for either linear or nonlinear vibration systems have not been studied deeply. This paper investigates the shock isolation of nonlinear vibration isolators (NVIs) with negative resistance electromagnetic shunt damping (NR-EMSD). An NVI that is capable of realizing linear and nonlinear...
