A STUDY OF THE KAMAN DYNAMIC ANTIRESONANT VIBRATION ISOLATOR

Abstract

The report is the result of a research study conducted on the Dynamic Antiresonant Vibration Isolator (DAVI). Theoretical analysis and experimental model correlation show the DAVI to be capable of over 98 percent isolation at very low frequencies with low static deflections; and at a tuned frequency, the transmissibility is independent of the isolated mass. Analysis and drop tests show that the DAVI gives better shock transmissibility for its fundamental mode than a conventional isolation system with the same spring rate.
