Vibration Isolation Performance

The vibration isolation system using a pair of oblique springs or a spring-rod mechanism as a negative stiffness mechanism exhibits a high-static low-dynamic stiffness characteristic and a nonlinear jump phenomenon when the system damping is light and the excitation amplitude is large. It is possible to remove the jump via adjusting the end trajectories of the above springs or rods. To realize this idea, the article presents a vibration isolation system with a cam–roller–spring–rod mechanism and gives the detailed numerical and experimental studies on the effects of the above mechanism on the vibration isolation performance. The comparative studies demonstrate that the vibration isolation system proposed works well and outperforms some other vibration isolation systems.

When designing technical structures, the safety of their elements is a fundamental principle. This highlights the significance of the proposed solution to the structural analysis of the trajectories of non-Gaussian stationary processes. The solution aims to acquire source data for calculating the stress-strength reliability of structural elements operating under random loads. We analyze an approach that makes it possible to account for the statistical dependence between processes and their derivatives, despite the apparent lack of correlation between them. The considered approach can be utilized in the design of vibration protection of transport vehicles to calculate the probability of a shock absorber breakdown, the probability of loss of the road-wheel contact, etc. The operation reliability of such systems is defined as the probability that the absolute maximum of the process does not exceed the specified standard level during a certain time interval. The article presents the reliability calculation using structural analysis on the example of a one-dimensional stochastic system.

In the ultraprecision vibration isolation systems, it is desirable for the isolator to have a larger load bearing capacity and a broader isolation bandwidth simultaneously. Generally, pneumatic spring can bear large load and achieve relatively low natural frequency by enlarging its chamber volume. However, the oversized isolator is inconvenient to use and might cause instability. To reduce the size, a miniaturized pneumatic vibration isolator (MPVI) with high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) is developed in this paper. The volume of proposed isolator is minimized by a compact structure design that combines two magnetic rings in parallel with the pneumatic spring. The two magnetic rings are arranged in the repulsive configuration and can be mounted into the chamber to provide the negative stiffness. Then dynamic model of the developed MPVI is built and the isolation performances are analyzed. Finally, experiments on the isolator with and without the magnetic rings are conducted. The final experimental results are consistent with the dynamical model and verify the effectiveness of the developed vibration isolator.

Models of vibration isolators are very commonly used for the design and analysis of isolation systems. Accurate isolator modeling is critical for a successful prediction of the dynamic characteristics of isolated systems. Isolators exhibit a complex behavior that depends on multiple parameters such as frequency, displacement amplitude, temperature and loading conditions. Therefore, it is important to choose a model that is accurate while adequately representing the relationships with relevant parameters. Recent literature has indicated some inherent advantages of fractional derivatives that can be exploited in the modeling of elastomeric isolators. Furthermore, time delay of damping is also seen to provide a realistic representation of damping. This paper examines the Maxwell-Voigt model with fractional damping and a time delay. This model is compared with the conventional Maxwell-Voigt model (without time delay or fractional damping) and the Voigt model in order to comprehend the influence of fractional damping and time delay on dynamic characteristics. Multiple simulations are performed after identifying model parameters from the data collected for a passive elastomeric isolator. The analysis results are compared and it is observed that the Voigt model is highly sensitive to fractional damping as well as time delay.

The paper presents tuned track bed vibration isolation systems used for the railway and tramway lines. The presented solution based on mass spring systems and is effective especially at lower frequencies. The tuning frequency of such systems is mostly in the range 5 to 8 Hz. With measures based on spring elements elaborated by GERB company the significant vibration and noise reduction coming from the railways and tramways can be achieved. This new technology in Poland can be used during the track structure modernization as well as in the new projects, in which the track bed vibration isolation is required.
