Study on the Shock Isolation Performance of the Woodpecker’s Head

Abstract:

The two-degree-of-freedom (two-dof) shock isolation system has been presented based on the woodpecker’s head structure. The effect of the system parameters on the performance of the shock isolation system has been studied by using transient responses and shock response spectrum. The results show that appropriate parameters can effectively reduce the maximum acceleration and displacement of the woodpecker’s brain. The discussion provides a new insight to the shock isolation mechanism of woodpecker’s head, and would be useful for the design of shock isolation.
