Hi all,

The Peak acceleration of the linkage is 10^6 m/s(duration- 0.025s) and maximum displacement is 5 cm.Since Linkage has to carried by person,this much of acceleration is unaccepted.Could you suggest some ways/mechanism to reduce the acceleration (could be bared by Human).

Any help would be highly appreciated.
