In a stepper motor driven linear motion system with guide rails I have used 1/32" thickness neoprene as a spacer between a couple screw heads and steel surfaces. This was one to allow some extra play in the mating surfaces to reduces the rigidity.
The neoprene spacer is a rectangle about .5"X1"...
Hello,
Assume the end of a cantilever beam is impacted with a quick shock load of 100 lbf and deflects x inches. If this load was very gradually applied at the same location with the same impact area would the deflection be the same if the very slowly rising gradual load reached 100 lbf as well...
