These elastomeric_x000D_
isolators 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._x000D_
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., program purpose french : Vibration isolation solutions employs elastomeric grommets, pads and isolation mounts, among others.
