In analysis, it is common practice to conceptualize structures, objects, and isolation systems as basic mass-spring-damper models, as depicted in Figure 42.1. The mass represented as m is infinitely ...

The problem posed here is that of choosing the spring and damper that will result in the minimum maximum force on an impacting mass subject to a limit on the maximum displacement. The solution of this ...
