If
we
compare
the
kinematics
of the
movements
now
corresponding
to the
realization
of a TPS
shock with only
one
pre-shock
(1) and
only
one
post-shock (2),
we
note,
from
Figures
7.9 to
7.11, that [YOU 64]:
- the
peak amplitude
of
the
velocity
is (in
absolute value) identical;
- in
(2),
the
acceleration peak takes place when
the
velocity
is
very large.
It is
thus
necessary
to be
able
to
provide
the
maximum force when
the
velocity
is
significant
[MIL 64];
- in (1) to the
contrary,
the
velocity
is at a
maximum when acceleration
is
zero.

Solution
(1), which requires
a
less
powerful
power
amplifier,
thus seems
preferable
to
(2).
The use of
symmetrical pre-
and
post-shocks
is
however
better,
because
of a
certain number
of
additional advantages [MAG 72]:
