Overview
In this study, an analytical and experimental study is conducted to investigate the effect of isolator locations on the effectiveness of vibration isolation systems. The study uses isolators with fixed properties and evaluates potential improvements to the isolation system that can be achieved by optimizing isolator locations.
In this course the student will learn about vibration isolation modeling, optimization techniques, mass properties and stiffness and dampening of airbags and steel springs.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in Discrete Optimization of Isolator Locations for Vibration Isolation Systems: An Analytical and Experimental Investigation, SAND96-1169, Printed May 17, 1996.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
