Design and Simulation of Vibration Isolator by Hexahedron Finite Element

Abstract

Composite material and Vibration are the main research areas in which today’s industries are growing. Vibration Isolator is a material which is used in mechanical industries to reduce vibration of machine by placing them at the bottom of small and heavy machineries under dynamic conditions. In designers and engineering life, composite materials help to increase material efficiency resulting in the reduction of cost and for utilization of resources as best as possible. Generally, composite materials are wide in Automobile sectors, manufacturing industries. In this experiment, study on isolator involves different types of composite materials. The design model was designed using CATIA and analyses have been performed using ANSYS Workbench. Anti-vibration mounts, also known as AV mounts, are key components in reducing noise and vibration in heavy machinery and equipment. AV mounts are a low cost, effective component, with a range of different uses. Machinery used in a variety of industries ranging from agriculture to the defence sector can be subject to excessive noise and vibrations which affects the longevity, efficiency and safety of the equipment used. Anti-vibration mounts possess effective shock absorption properties and act as a vibration dampener to reduce noise and improve the lifespan of machine applications.
