Mechanical Property Analysis and Design of Shock Absorber System Using Fiber Bearing by Experimental Method

摘要

This paper describes an experimental and theoretical study of the feasibility of using fiber reinforced to produce lightweight low-cost elastomeric isolator. The fiber in the fiber-reinforced isolator, in contrast to the steel in the conventional isolator is assumed to be flexible in extension. Several examples of isolators in the form of long strips were fabricated and tested. The theoretical analysis and test results suggest that it is possible to produce the fiber-reinforced strip isolator that matches the behavior of a steel-reinforced isolator. The fiber-reinforced isolator is significantly lighter and can be made by a much less labor-intensive manufacturing process.
