Abstract

Construction of passive insulation elements in neoprene single microstructure mixture has demonstrated that the isolators can have the necessary elastic characteristics but low internal damping. The reduced scale models have in the structure viscoelastic materials basing on natural rubber symmetrically distributed in respect to the geometrical reference system chosen for the isolator. The materials consisting of natural or synthetic rubber are used as filling elements symmetrically located so that, globally, the isolator can be properly characterized both at compression and shear. For the present paper there were used two material types modelled as Voigt-Kelvin and Hooke-Maxwell elements. Key words: rheological modelling, antivibrating isolator, composite neoprene
