Passive vibration isolators are extensively used in wide ranging applications such as automotive, aerospace, railroad and earth moving equipment in the mechanical industry, and in structural applications in the civil industry. These isolators serve as spring-damper units that isolate specific parts of a system from external dynamic loading, or from other sub-systems that cause vibration excitation. Passive isolators exhibit very complex behavior that depends on excitation frequency, displacement amplitude, ambient temperature and pre-load in addition to geometry, design features as well as material composition of the isolator. Various models are prevalent in the existing literature for the design and analysis of such isolators, ranging from the basic Voigt model to more complex models such as the Maxwell-Voigt model with multiple Maxwell elements, the Maxwell ladder model, the three dimensional viscoelastic model, the fractional derivative model, and models specifically used for capturing the hysteresis behavior or the displacement limiting behavior. However, each of these models is successful in representing certain characteristics of the isolator while being unable to capture other key attributes. This paper provides a comparative study of some of the main models that are commonly used for the design and analysis of passive vibration isolators. Experimental data collected from a passive elastomeric isolator under varying excitation conditions is used to identify parameters associated with some of the commonly used models. The analysis results are compared and specific highlights and shortcomings of each model are identified and discussed.

In recent years, with electron microscopes coming into wider use, their installation environments do not necessarily give their performance full play. Their environmental conditions include air-conditioners, magnetic fields, and vibrations. We report a jointly developed entirely new vibration isolator which is effective against the vibrations transmitted from the floor.Conventionally, large-sized vibration isolators which need the digging of a pit have been used. These vibration isolators, however, are large present problems of installation and maintenance because of their large-size.Thus, we intended to make a vibration isolator which1) eliminates the need for changing the installation room2) eliminates the need of maintenance and3) are compact in size and easily installable.
