Design and Theoretical Analysis of High-Static-Low-Dynamic Stiffness Torsion Vibration Isolator Based on Oblique Springs

Abstract

A torsion vibration isolator composed of oblique springs with high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) is proposed to attenuate the transmission of torsion vibration along the shipping shaft in this paper. It is good at in low frequency vibration isolation as it can significantly reduce the resonance frequency of the system with the same load capability. Firstly, the model of HSLDS torsion vibration isolator is introduced in this paper. Secondly, the non-dimensional torsion stiffness is formulated using mechanics theory, and the HSLDS characteristic of designed torsion vibration isolator is verified. Finally, the torque transmissibility is analyzed using the Increment Harmonic Balance (IHB) method, and the effects of the system parameters on it are analyzed. The results show that the resonant frequency increases accordingly as the stiffness ratio and the excitation torque are increased. However, the peak value of the torsion transmissibility is decreased as the damper ratio increasing.
