Abstract
An apparatus for protecting a module used in a borehole may include a plurality of shock protection elements associated with the module. The plurality of shock protection elements cooperatively has a macroscopic non-linear spring response to an applied shock event. The plurality of shock protection elements may include at least an enclosure and a dampener connecting the module with the enclosure. A related method for protecting a module used in a borehole may include enclosing the module within the plurality of shock protection elements; disposing the module in the borehole; and subjecting the module to a shock event. The plurality of shock protection elements cooperatively has a macroscopic non-linear spring response to the shock event.
