Synopsis

Modeling and Analysis of Passive Vibration Isolation Systems discusses a wide range of dynamic models that can be used for the design and analysis of passive vibration isolation systems. These models range from linear viscoelastic single degree-of-freedom systems to multiple degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems. They can be used to evaluate hyperelasticity and creep, and to represent the inertia effect for an evaluation of vibroacoustic characteristics at high frequencies. This book also highlights specific nonlinear behavior, displacement-limiting designs, hyperelastic behavior, and characteristics associated with elastomeric materials for each model. It also identifies key attributes, limitations, and constraints, providing a holistic reference that can be used for the design and analysis of passive vibration isolators. Modeling and Analysis of Passive Vibration Isolation Systems serves as a reference for engineers and researchers involved in the design, development, modeling, analysis, and testing of passive vibration isolation systems and as a reference for a graduate course in vibration modeling and analysis.

• Outlines the use of multiple models for optimal passive vibration isolation system design
• Discusses the effects system design has on subsequent product development components and parameters
• Includes applied examples from the automotive, aerospace, civil engineering and machine tool industries
• Presents models that can be extended or modified to investigate different means of passive isolation, nonlinearities, and specific design configurations
• Considers specific elastomer characteristics such as Mullins and Payne effects for theoretical modeling and analysis

From the Back Cover

Modeling and Analysis of Passive Vibration Isolators and Systems starts by providing readers with a general background on vibration isolation and the modeling of single and multiple degree-of-freedom systems, then moves into outlining a range of models that can be used in each system, discussing the pros and cons of the models and providing guidance on model selection. It then introduces models that can be used to comprehend some of the nonlinearities associated with the design of vibration isolation systems, allowing the development of systems that can make use of these nonlinearities to enhance isolation. The book concludes with chapters discussing specific attributes associated with elastomeric materials that need to be considered during the design and analysis of passive vibration isolators along with applied examples that can be used for reference. Specific models from previous chapters are used to demonstrate the influence of model selection as well as parameter sensitivity. Practical exercises are highlighted at the end of each chapter, and appendices featuring differential equations and matrix algebra examples provide mathematical background in support of the preceding chapters.
