Dynamic research on low-frequency vibration isolation tables

Abstract

In the paper, an establishment of dynamic characteristics of tabletops of the newly-developed optical tables is being discussed upon. Low-frequency vibration isolation systems are reviewed. Theoretical and experimental tests have been performed. Dynamic models of an optical table on a vibrating platform at different excitations have been developed, the dynamic displacement and the resonance frequencies of the system have been established and vibration transmissibility curves have been presented. The obtained dynamic characteristics of the mechanical passive low-frequency vibration isolation system show that such a system is able to isolate the vibrations effectively. The results of the performed experimental tests confirm the data of the theoretical research.
