| Abstract: | A new kind of coupling-type silicone rubber shock absorber was prepared. Vibration and static stiffness tests were carried out to investigate the characteristics of vibration control. A mechanical model of the shock absorber was established, and the working principle of the shock absorber was studied by comparing the vibration test with simulation results. The dynamic results show the shock absorber has excellent vibration control performance. The coupling characteristics originate from the contact of inner and outer silicone rubber. It is shown that the stiffness and damping coefficients in the coupling process are critical for vibration control of the shock absorber. |
