Abstract: This paper presents some special aspects
regarding changing and degrading phenomenon of
theoretical characteristics for vibroisolation elements
during the exploitation. The approaches are based on the
internal thermodynamic phenomenon developed into the
rubber elements subjected with the various and intensive
dynamic charges. The influences are involved about both
the static and dynamic characteristics, and consist of
rigidity and damping parameters variation.
The main area of this study is framed by the passive
isolation against shocks and vibration, due to the
different technological equipments, of the sensitive
embedded systems. Most of these isolation devices and
systems are based on rubber elements and in some
exploitation cases it was remarked an unusual behavior
or an untimely evolution to a final damaged state.
The analysis is based on the large sets of virtual and
instrumental tests, performed for different types of
vibroisolation elements, with various structural and
functional configurations. All of these was developed
supposing the basic compressing and torsion rubber
elastic elements, their working principle, and their
functional restraints.
Through the comparative analysis of the acquired
results, with the computational dynamics simulation, it
was developed a few theoretical and operational models.
Besides of the thermodynamics phenomenon, that are
happen into the isolator, it was supposed the non-linear
effects of damping and of rigidity that are usual
characteristics of a real elements behavior. The
reduction of transient states and decreasing the
magnitude of permanent oscillations for specific
parameters (like rigidity, damping, natural frequency,
etc) around their reference value was the major and
permanent purposes of this study.
The main concluding remark denotes the differences
between simple theoretical models results and the real
elements evolution under the charges. Because of the
shifting and modification of the static and dynamic
characteristics, the final evolution of the isolator may
acquire unbalanced values for specific parameters. As a
function of concrete and practical application of these
rubber isolators it has to take into consideration the
qualitative and quantitative deviation to the
theoretical characteristics for a proper evolution such
as it was imposed by the initial working conditions.
