Abstract The possibility of building a modal superposition formula for two-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems with impacts is investigated in this paper. This formula is obtained by following the usual procedure which consists in defining generalized frequencies, masses and modes. The example of two rigid bodies colliding underlines the efficiency, as well as the limitations, of the method.

Parts 1 and 2 of this paper gave a design overview and described the dynamics of a prototype two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic suspension for an ambulance stretcher. This concluding part briefly reviews laboratory shaker table and ambulance road test performance of the suspension with passive pneumatic damping. The suspension system is found to offer compact low-cost isolation with lower natural frequencies than achieved in earlier mechanical systems.
