This invention relates to an aperiodic layered vibration
isolator and its design method. The aperiodic layered vibration
isolator comprises N or more sets of aperiodic unit structures connected in series, each set of aperiodic unit structures including a rubber layer and a
metal layer. The design method of the aperiodic layered vibration
isolator includes the following steps: determining the dynamic element
stiffness matrix of each
metal layer and rubber layer to obtain the unit
transfer matrix of the vibration isolator; determining that the total
transfer matrix of the aperiodic layered vibration isolator is the product of the transfer matrices of N elements, and obtaining its
wave propagation characteristics through
eigenvalue analysis of the
transfer matrix of the vibration isolator; adjusting the thickness HM of each
metal layer of the aperiodic layered vibration isolator. i and rubber
layer thickness HR i The design parameters selected cover a wide range of wave-blocking frequencies. This invention improves upon existing periodic vibration isolators, broadening their wave-blocking frequency range. The
layered structure also features simple design and compact space.
