Verification of Launch Vibration and Shock Isolation Performance for Spaceborne Compressor Vibration Isolator with SMA Mesh Washer

Six-axis vibration isolation technology applied to spaceborne interferometers

This paper discusses the vibration isolation problem as it applies to spaceborne interferometers, and presents evidence that vibration isolation will be a required technology fol these instruments. A hardware solution to the spaceborne interferometer isolation problem is offered with experimental evidence of its effectiveness.

Mechatronic Vibration Isolator for the Microtechnics with Real-time Interaction

A mechatronic vibration isolation system has been developed on the basis of system theory. This equipment integrates mechanics, pneumatics and electronics in synergistic co-operation. The electronic control is responsible for the dynamic behaviour and the special computing transfer block for the real time interaction and compensation of floor vibration disturbances. INTRODUCTION The method for ...

Isolation of Performance Halls from Ground Vibration

One of the inherent characteristics of transportation systems, especially steel wheel and rail systems, is that vehicles running on the roadway or trackway generate vibration which transmits through the ground into nearby buildings. As our urban areas build up or are redeveloped, it is frequently desired for a variety of reasons to place a concert hall or theater in a location which is in close...

Taber vibration isolator for vacuum and cryogenic applications

We present a procedure for the design and construction of a passive, multipole, mechanical high-stop vibration isolator. The isolator, consisting of a stack of metal disks connected by thin wires, attenuates frequencies in the kilohertz range, and is suited to both vacuum and cryogenic environments. We derive an approximate analytical model and compare its predictions for the frequencies of the...
