In the paper, the Electrorheological fluid(ERF) is embedded in the pneumatic vibration isolator and three kinds of control systems are designed, which experimental results are also compared. The first kind of the control system is the semi-active control system, which is designed for ERF controllable damper. The second kind of the control system is the active control system, which is designed f...

today there are different vibration isolators used in industries according to the weight and excitation frequency of the machines which have vibration. one of them is air spring which is in two types: convoluted air spring and membrane air spring. convoluted air springs are used to control vibrations in low frequency (usually lower than 10 hz) and the membrane ones are used in high frequency (u...

background : the application of ventilation systems in industries and workplaces is with the aim of improving environmental conditions for employees. the lack of appropriate ventilation system components design and control methods result in the production of sound and vibration in most components. the purpose of this study was to determine the role of the pad isolator in controlling vibration a...

This paper presents an intelligent control strategy to overcome nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of a diaphragm-type pneumatic vibration isolator (PVI) system. By combining an adaptive rule with fuzzy and sliding-mode control, the method has online learning ability when it faces the system's nonlinear and time-varying behaviors during an active vibration control process. Since the pro...

This paper presents the development of a magnetorheological (MR) fluid-based variable stiffness and damping isolator for vibration suppressions. The MR fluid isolator used a sole MR control unit to achieve the variable stiffness and damping in stepless and relative large scope. A mathematical model of the isolator was derived, and a prototype of the MR fluid isolator was fabricated and its dyna...

This paper describes a type of isolator which is based on Solid And Liquid Mixture (SALiM) for vibration isolation and shock absorbing. The nonlinear force-displacement relation of the isolator is established. Using the precise integration method, the primary responses in time domain are evaluated to study the isolator’s property. Index terms — Solid and Liquid Mixture, Vibration Isolation, Vib...

This paper presents a low stiffness nonlinear vibration isolator using pneumatic spring with an auxiliary chamber which is shortened by LSNVI. Firstly, the mechanical model of isolator, constructed two opposite mechanisms includes load bearing mechanism (LBM) and corrected (SCM), introduced. Secondly, restoring force found. Based on this, dynamic calculated numerically. Then, curve was approxim...
