Lifetime of metal rubber isolator with different vibration amplitudes

The lifetime of metal rubber isolator and its characteristics during lifetime experiment were studied. The stepped-up test principle was adopted to study the lifetime of resonant frequency, the breakage form of metal rubber isolator was obtained, and the relation between the energy dissipation, resonant frequency and stiffness was obtained in (available) lifetime of the isolator. Furthermore, the reason for the changes of properties of metal rubber isolator was analyzed with contact model of metal rubber material. The results show that if the resonant amplitude is large, the stiffness of metal rubber isolator will be kept steadily for a long time, its resonant frequency will be stable and the effective working time in the protecting area will be long. The lifetime of metal rubber isolator is more than 1376 h in the experiment. The main failure forms of metal rubber isolator are accumulative wear and breaking of metal wires and spirals. In protecting area the metal rubber isolator can work effectively for a long time, and the effective working time depends on the concrete working condition.

Effects of Fatigue Characteristics on Static and Dynamic Performance of Eucommia Rubber Isolators

This study aimed to investigate the effect of fatigue characteristics on the static and dynamic performance of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators, and to explore the performance changes of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators with different formulations. For this purpose, we used five formulations of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators and set different fatigue test methods to study the static and dynamic performance changes of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators with different formulations by changing the amplitude. The experimental results showed that the addition of Eucommia ulmoides gum had an impact on the performance of the isolator, and the number of fatigue cycles would lead to the hardening of the Eucommia ulmoides gum isolator and changes in its static and dynamic performance. In the range of two million vibrations, the performance change of the isolator was significant in the early stage and then tended to be flat, indicating that the impact of fatigue on the performance of the isolator would not continue to persist. It is worth noting that the study found that the addition of 30% Eucommia ulmoides gum had the least impact on the performance of the isolator under fatigue. Therefore, for long-term use of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators, attention should be paid to their fatigue characteristics to ensure their stability and reliability. Additionally, this study provides a reference for the design and application of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators. In summary, this study provides important reference value for a deeper understanding of the fatigue characteristics of Eucommia ulmoides gum isolators and for ensuring their stable and reliable performance. .

The Dynamic Characteristics of Silicone Rubber Isolator

The dynamic stiffness and the specific damping energy, as well as the vibration response characteristics of a silicone rubber isolator were researched. The results of the vibration test showed that the silicone rubber isolator was excellent in the performance of vibration control. The dynamic stiffness and the damping characteristics were non-linear. From the comparison between experimental results and simulation analysis, the displacement transmissibility characteristics of the isolator were obtained. As a result, the dynamic characteristics of the isolator could be accurately described by the quadratic type non-linear terms at small amolitude.

A low-frequency and broadband wave-insulating vibration isolator based on plate-shaped metastructures

A metamaterial vibration isolator,termed as wave-insulating isolator,is proposed,which preserves enough load-bearing capability and offers ultra-low and broad bandgaps for greatly enhanced wave insulation.It consists of plate-shaped metacells,whose symmetric and antisymmetric local resonant modes offer several low and broad mode bandgaps although the complete bandgap remains high and narrow.The bandgap mechanisms,vibration isolation properties,effects of key parameters,and robustness to complex conditions are clarified.As experimentally demonstrated,the wave-insulating isolator can improve the vibration insulation in the ranges of[50 Hz,180 Hz]and[260 Hz,400 Hz]by 15 dB and 25 dB,respectively,in contrast to the conventional isolator with the same first resonant frequency.

Material Model Research on Rubber Vibration Isolators

A viscohyperelastic constitutive model is proposed to describe the mechanical behaviour of vibration isolation rubber under broad-band vibration. This constitutive model comprises two parts： a component with three parameters to characterize the hyperelastic static properties of rubber materials, and the other component incorporating two relaxation time parameters, corresponding to high and low strain rates, respectively, to describe the dynamic response under vibration and impact loadings. Based on this proposed constitutive model, a series of experiments were performed on two types of rubber materials over a wide strain rate range. The results predicted from this model are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Analysis and design of open trench barriers in screening steady-state surface vibrations

The problem of vibration isolation by rectangular open trenches in a plane strain context is numerically studied using a finite element code, PLAXIS. The soil media is assumed to be linear elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous subjected to a vertical harmonic load producing steady-state vibration. The present model is validated by comparing it with previously published works. The key geometrical features of a trench, i.e., its depth, width, and distance from the source of excitation, are normalized with respect to the Rayleigh wavelength. The attenuation of vertical and horizontal components of vibration is studied for various trench dimensions against trench locations varied from an active to a passive case. Results are depicted in non-dimensional forms and conclusions are drawn regarding the effects of geometrical parameters in attenuating vertical and horizontal vibration components. The screening efficiency is primarily governed by the normalized depth of the barrier. The effect of width has little significance except in some specific cases. Simplified regression models are developed to estimate average amplitude reduction factors. The models applicable to vertical vibration cases are found to be in excellent agreement with previously published results.

Bandgaps and vibration isolation of local resonance sandwich-like plate with simply supported overhanging beam

The concept of local resonance phononic crystals proposed in recent years provides a new chance for theoretical and technical breakthroughs in the structural vibration reduction.In this paper,a novel sandwich-like plate model with local resonator to acquire specific low-frequency bandgaps is proposed.The core layer of the present local resonator is composed by the simply supported overhanging beam,linear spring and mass block,and well connected with the upper and lower surface panels.The simply supported overhanging beam is free at right end,and an additional linear spring is added at the left end.The wave equation is established based on the Hamilton principle,and the bending wave bandgap is further obtained.The theoretical results are verified by the COMSOL finite element software.The bandgaps and vibration characteristics of the local resonance sandwich-like plate are studied in detail.The factors which could have effects on the bandgap characteristics,such as the structural damping,mass of vibrator,position of vibrator,bending stiffness of the beam,and the boundary conditions of the sandwich-like plates,are analyzed.The result shows that the stopband is determined by the natural frequency of the resonator,the mass ratio of the resonator,and the surface panel.It shows that the width of bandgap is greatly affected by the damping ratio of the resonator.Finally,it can also be found that the boundary conditions can affect the isolation efficiency.

Study on the Impediment to Vibration Wave Propagation from Rigid Vibration Isolation Mass

Based on the principle of impedance mismatching,the performance of rigid vibration isolation mass in impeding vibration wave propagation was discussed from the perspective of wave approach.Based on FEM,the influence of its weight as well as the cross-section shape parameters on the isolation performance of rigid vibration isolation mass was studied through numerical simulation.The results show that rigid vibration isolation mass can effectively impede the propagation of the medium and high frequency vibration waves,and the heavier the vibration isolation mass,the better the isolation performance.For low frequency waves,the vibration isolation effect is not so obvious;for a rectangular vibration isolation mass,the isolation performance could be effectively improved by increasing the cross-section height and reducing the cross-section width.A useful reference was provided for the application of rigid vibration isolation masses to the vibration isolation and noise reduction of ship structure.

Theoretical analysis of a row of piles as passive barriers and an equivalent in-filled trench model

A theoretical study on the ground vibration isolation efficiency by a row of piles as passive barrier in a three-dimensional context was presented. The analysis was accomplished with the aid of integral equations governing Rayleigh wave scattering, used to predict the complicated Rayleigh wave field generated by a number of irregular scatters embedded in an elastic half-space. Then, the passive isolation effectiveness of a row of piles for screening Rayleigh wave was studied in detail. The effects of relevant parameters on the screening effectiveness were investigated and analyzed from the perspective of equivalence with in-filled trench. The results show that using a row of rigid piles as wave barrier is more effective than that of flexible ones, and an optimum reduction of vibration can be achieved either by increasing the size of piles or by decreasing the net spacing between the piles. Finally, based on the derived integral equation for Rayleigh wave scattering, the principle of equivalent modeling of the barrier of piles by an in-filled trench is put forward, which simplifies the analysis of vibration isolation by a row of piles.
