Abstract |
This study proposes an integrated serial spring-damper mechanism as a dual pulse generation system. Compared to the traditional dual pulse generation system, which used multiple springs and a damper to generate a dual pulse critical for impact testing of naval equipments, currently used separated serial spring-damper mechanism is comprised of two components: an air spring, and a damper. The proposed mechanism combines the two components into one integrated system with a unique design that lets simply changing the volume and the pressure of the air tank, and the length of the annular pipe adjust the stiffness and damping constants for testing, eliminating the need to have multiple sets of air springs and dampers. Simulations using MatLab and Simulink were conducted to verify the feasibility of this design. The results show the potential of an integrated serial spring-damper mechanism as a more convenient and flexible mechanism for dual pulse generation system. |
