Abstract

The system includes at least one semiactive damper whose switching between high damping and low damping states is at times delayed until the relative velocity across the damper is no greater than a preselected low magnitude, or until the energy stored by a resilient deformable system member is no greater than a predetermined magnitude, or until the first to occur of either of the foregoing events.
