| Research Abstract |
Examined in this research are the mechanism of amplification for the acceleration responseof medical appliances relative to the input acceleration and their effect onto the performance of the appliances. The appliances would sustain significant jumping and according damage when the maximum accelerations exceed 4g. Exceptions are those with flexible elements in the vertical direction, in which they would experience significant motion such as jumping even for the acceleration ranging 1 to 2g. A generic 3DOF model is developed to quantify the degree of acceleration amplification from the ground to the floor of the superstructure.
