Abstract
Due to the serious impact of metro vibration on people’s lives, it is important to design vibration isolators. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a thick-walled ring spring are studied first. Through theoretical derivation, a new formula suitable for thick-walled ring springs is proposed. Finite element numerical analysis was performed to study the load–displacement curve and stress of the ring spring and verified the correctness of the formula. According to the studied mechanic characteristics, a novel ring spring isolator is proposed for vibration isolation of the metro superstructure. With the help of a ring spring, the proposed isolator has good energy absorption and self-reset function. The dynamic simulations were conducted in a multi-story building with the ring spring isolator as the isolator to study the vibration performance. It is common knowledge that the vertical natural frequency of the superstructure that is isolated by compression springs is given by the mass of the superstructure and the spring stiffness. In order to obtain vibration attenuation and control the vertical deformation, the spring stiffness needs to be 500–1000 kN/mm. Hence, it is clear that the vibration isolator does reduce the vertical eigenfrequency. By comparing the isolated structure with the non-isolated structure, it is proved that the new isolator can effectively improve a building’s serviceability.
