the "shock absorber" is really not a shock absorber.it only absorbs the vibrating force ,so to say.it reduces the vibration amplitude in steps so that it becomes 0 after a certain time.this bcoz the spring (or what ever is there) absorbs the force by deforming within elastic limit and also the resilience of the element is at work.
the basic mech.engg. science tells us that no body is practically rigid.it depends upon design.it will be a rigid member when the designer intends it to be.
Dear All,
As I understand Rigid Strut is nothing but rigid rod which can take compressive loads also. On the other hand as per Lisega Catalogue one of the important function of a Rigid Strut is "to absorb shock load in a piping system from unexpected load events."
So please educate me how a rigid strut can shock loads?
And in case it can take shock loads then what is the difference between a Rigid Strut and Shock Absorber / Snubber.
Looking forward to your replies.
