Effect of Joint Types Between Metallic Material and Elastomer Material Used for Vibration Isolation on Isolation Performance and Dynamic Properties

Elastomer materials can be jointed using various connection types with metallic parts. Removable connections (with screws, nuts, etc.), adhesive and vulcanization methods are some of them. In this work, it is investigated that how joint between one type of elastomer called silicone and aluminum using adhesive and vulcanization process affect dynamic properties and vibration isolation performance and results are compared. Modal tests are performed for investigation and comparation
