The main anti-vibration function is to prevent vibrations and noises generated from vibration sources of machines and vehicles not to be delivered to users and passengers, and its additional function is to enhance reliability and durability of machines and vehicles.
For the anti-vibration design under the vibration system composed of vibration parameters m, c and k, the vibration system is illustrated in the mathematical model idealized in the degree-of-freedom system as shown in the figure.
The equation of motion of this system is indicated in Newton's Second Law of Motion as follows:
It is a polymer that deforms when a weak force is applied at room temperature but restores to its original form when the external force is removed.
The substance in which the viscous property and the elastic property coexist ( Viscoelastic Polymer)
→ Elasticity: Load supporting function, viscosity: Impact absorbing function
Once vulcanized, the product cannot be reformed even if heat and/or pressure is applied.
One of technical evaluation indices on vehicle development
One of key marketability factors
Vibration insulation (blocking) role in the vibration transmission path
One of important parts for sensible quality of vehicle including stability, comfort and silence required by customers. Importance of the anti-vibration rubber product keeps on increasing.
