Popis: The purpose of this investigation was to determine how simple compression mountings for machinery compare with regard to transmission of mechanical vibrations when the mountings are made from different rubbers. The only difference between the mountings was the rubber contained; all mountings had the same physical dimensions, the same static modulus, and essentially the same hardness. Natural rubber was found to transmit less vibrational force than any of the other rubbers in the range of frequencies from 25 to 2000 cycles per second; moreover, its transmissibility was practically constant over this range of frequencies. Neoprene Type FR transmitted a little more force than natural rubber. Its transmissibility also remained practically constant over the frequency range except for a rise at low frequencies. The transmissibilities of all other synthetic rubbers tested were higher and increased with rising frequency over the entire range. The information obtained is of considerable value in the design of rubber mountings for isolation of machinery vibrations in the range of audible frequencies.
