A procedure for the parametric identification of viscoelastic dampers accounting for preload

Passive vibration isolators are usually made of viscoelastic materials. These materials have non-linear characteristics that change their dynamical properties with temperature, frequency and strain level. The vibration isolator's mathematical modeling and optimal design require the prior knowledge of the stiffness and damping of the applied viscoelastic material. This work presents a dynamical characterization methodology to identify the stiffness and damping of three samples of viscoelastic rubber with hardness of 25, 33 and 48 SHORE A. The experimental apparatus is a one-degree of freedom vi...
