Abstract:The objective of this paper is to evaluate the vibration isolation performance of an elevator motor mounted on elastomeric nanocomposite mounts. A series of conventional acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) mounts have been reinforced with 20wt% concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The vibration isolation capacity of the machine mounts was calculated through the transmissibility of an elevator motor test system. A Finite Element Model (FEM) was introduced and a harmonic analysis based on th… Show more
