To increase a compactness of damping systems intended to operate in the event of a dynamic landing of an aircraft, a damping system comprises a primary damper device and a secondary damper device. The primary damper device comprises at least one beam, each beam extending along a direction of a longitudinal axis. The damping system is configured so that at rest, the primary damper device has a stiffness greater than a stiffness of the secondary damper device in the direction of the longitudinal axis. When a force is applied to the damping system along the direction of the longitudinal axis, with a value less than a limit value, each beam remains in a compression state. When the force applied has a value greater than or equal to the limit value, each beam undergoes buckling and the secondary damper device undergoes elastic deformation.

Provided is a damper that exerts a damping force with a simple structure using elastically deformable granular bodies.

The damper includes a cylinder, a piston, a rod, a rod guide, and a plurality of granular bodies. The piston is housed in the cylinder and reciprocates in the central axis direction of the cylinder. The rod is connected to the piston. The rod extends in the central axis direction of the cylinder and protrudes to an outside from an open end side of the cylinder. The rod guide is fixed to the open end of the cylinder. The rod guide has a through hole which penetrates in the central axis direction of the cylinder and through which the rod is reciprocably inserted. The granular bodies are elastic bodies each having a spherical shape. The granular bodies are filled in the cylinder.
