Abstract
A passively damped mechanical system is disclosed, for example for use in aerospace applications where vibration can adversely affect navigational and operational instruments. In one example, the passively damped mechanical system includes an end fitting of a strut used to connect a structural element to a payload. The end fitting may include outer and inner cylindrical hubs, with a space between the outer and inner cylindrical hub at least partially filled with a viscoelastic material. In a further example, the passively damped mechanical system includes legs used to connect a structural element to a bracket configured to support a payload. Each leg may include a hollow interior having a lattice structure to add strength and a viscoelastic material to provide passive damping.
