Wave Propagation and Damping in Rubber - Steel-Interfaces of Suspensions

摘要

A rubber-buffer-pendulum and an impulse-hammer-pendulum are bulit to investigate damping and isolation properites of different rubber-buffers. It can be summarized that soft rubber buffers show the best isolation and damping properties. Hard rubber-buffers show the largest mechanical impedance and thereby are most resistant against mechanical loading. Hard rubber-buffers show poor damping and isolation properties. Therefore there is a conflict of goals concerning damping properties with the mechanical impedance.
