Material Characterization, Modeling and Optimization of Elastomeric Vibration Isolation Pad

隔振解决方案采用弹性垫圈、垫片和隔振支座等。这些弹性体隔振器通常用于减少由机械和电机/设备激励、冲击载荷和/或地震载荷产生的振动和/或冲击对轻重型设备安装的影响。这些产品的主要特点之一是可以吸收的变形量，反映在它们的刚性上。为了设计这些隔振器，应该了解它们在载荷下的力学行为，这受隔振器弹性体的材料属性和隔振器本身的几何细节(形状)的影响。因此，本项目的目标是对各种环境条件下满足外载荷要求的隔振垫进行材料表征、数值模拟、设计优化和验证。该项目将为ISOTECH提供有价值的信息和反馈，以进一步推动新产品的发展，并为加拿大学术界和工业界提供实用的解决方案，用于新的和未来的设计开发。

Vibration isolation solutions employs elastomeric grommets, pads and isolation mounts, among others. These elastomericisolators are typically used to reduce the effect of vibration and/or impact at the light to heavy equipment mountings, generated by mechanical and electric machine/equipment excitation, impact loading and/or seismic loading. One of the key features of these products is the amount of deformation that can be absorbed, reflected in their stiffness.In order to design these isolators, their mechanical behavior under loadings should be understood, which is affected by material properties of the isolator elastomer and the geometric details (shape) of the isolator itself. Therefore, the objective of this project is to conduct material characterization, numerical simulation, design optimization and validation of vibration isolation pad that would meet external load requirements at various environmental conditions. This project will provide ISOTECH valuable information and feedback to further progress of the new product and also offer the Canadian academia and industry with a practical solutions for novel and future design development.
