Affordable High Performance Shock and Vibration Mitigating Mount

"In Phase I Production Products designed a polyurethane shock andvibration mount system, fabricated prototypes, performed loadstroke and shock testing, analytically predicted shock andvibration performance, and demonstrated the ability to meetanalytical predictions. Shock mount designs were subjected toshock tests to over 200 g's with an overall reduction in maximumacceleration of a factor of over 20 to 40. The objective of PhaseII is to transition the Phase I results into a mount system for afamily of low cost multiple performance generic machinerymounts. This family of mounts will have varying staticproperties and provide dynamic shock mitigation and vibrationisolation over a wide operating load range. We will design,fabricate, and characterize the static and dynamic properties ofthe family of mounts. We will fabricate associated hardware andconduct shock and vibration testing to assess performance. Theshock and vibration requirements will be established with NAVSEAsupport and will tie into the Qualification Testing. We willdevelop preliminary specifications for performance and mechanicalrequirements along with mount drawings for NAVSEA evaluation.We will provide prototype mounts for sea trials. The Phase Icommercialization plan will be expanded and implemented to allowfor large scale manufacture and commercialization of the multipleperformance shock and vibration mount.BENEFITS: Successful development of a single multi-perfor
