Measuring the Capacity of a Proposed Vibration Isolator Using Auxectics Sheets

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a vibration isolator using auxetic viscoelastic sheet technology. The procedure for the design and elaboration of the insulator using polymers and by means of fatigue analysis using impacts is exposed, the absorption of energy by cycles is compared and the damage that is produced in the viscoelastic is observed with an optical microscope. This is to compare the variation in the force that the fatigue equipment exerts to deform the sheet in the same magnitude and to be able to establish, through the ratio of absorbed energy and returned energy, criteria on the useful life of the element for future designs.
