dc.description.abstract | Spring isolators systems are commonly
used in a variety of ways in today’s construction
industry. They are an essential part of the design of
many mechanical systems that are in need of
absorbing and dissipating unwanted vibrations. In
the construction industry, vibration isolation
systems have been installed without completely
understanding how these systems are selected. The
goal of this paper is to create a tool that will make
the selection process easier for designers and
installers. A Matlab© [1, 4] computer program
will be created to give graphical models of the
steady state vibrating motion of an Air Handling
Unit (AHU) with a selected vibration isolation
system. The program will be able to simulate any
model with the phenomena of a vibrating rigid body
on a resilient supported element which will be
caused by a vibratory force, or moment, that is
generated within the body, creating unbalance.
This program will also be able to calculate the
natural frequencies of the mode in order to make
sure that it will not cause the model to fall under
the unwanted effect of resonance that will
eventually cause our model and its supports to fail.
