RESPONSE OF 5M10,000-H RESILIENT MOUNTS UNDER SHOCK LOADING
Abstract
Experimental and theoretical studies of the type 5M10,000-H rubber resilient mount assembly consisting of a compression and shear mount and snubber were conducted to determine its performance under shock loading. In the experimental study, the mount assembly (supporting a rigid test mass) was installed on the Floating Shock Platform and subjected to a series of five shock tests. The experimental data were analyzed and dynamic force-deflection curves were obtained. Parallel theoretical studies were conducted. A simple mathematical model combining springs and dashpots was used to represent the response of the mounts under vertical shock loading. Theoretical dynamic force deflection curves obtained from this system showed good agreement with the experimental data. Findings of the experimental and theoretical studies led to the conclusion that dynamic force-deflection curves must be used in calculations of the shock response of supported equipment.
