A Method for Shaping the Dynamic Characteristics of Vibration Isolation Systems

Abstract:

In this paper a method for shaping the dynamic characteristics of vibration isolation systems is presented. The multi-criteria optimisation procedure is utilized in order to find the Pareto-optimal system configuration with simultaneous minimization of conflicted optimisation criteria: the isolated body acceleration and suspension travel. As an example of the proposed method, the seat with a pneuma-hydraulic suspension is investigated and its vibro-isolation properties are shaped by an appropriate selection of the system characteristics. The basic findings of the paper consist in the optimisation procedure that takes into account the nonlinear dynamic behaviour of vibration isolation systems.
