Abstract
S u m m a r y The paper presents a description and results of a flexibility study of a steel adjustable foundation chock (Vibracon ® SM). Chocks of this type are used in so-called rigid seatings (mountings) on foundations of heavy machinery and equipment, which require precise alignment and adjustment. They are an alternative to conventional (ordinary) metal chocks or new generation chocks – which are ready-cast with specifically for this purpose developed polymer composites. Experimental studies were conducted in laboratory conditions on an original new chock. The characteristics of deformation for this chock were determined in conditions close to the operation conditions of such chocks. The results show that in the investigated system there are significant deformations of a non-linear-elastic character. They allow one to better understand and explain many complex phenomena occurring in real structural connections with such type of chocks. They also constitute an experimental basis for appropriate modeling and analysis of strength and vibrations occurring in such systems.
