Shock and Vibration Mounting System from AEG

American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new low cost “Dual Structure Shock Mount System”. This new AEG mount system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The mount system will have two hollow spherical elements with top element functions as a “load bearing” element and the bottom spherical element as a vibration shock damping element.

This design-formulation concept promises higher axial-radial stiffness, vibration damping, and extended life. Finite element results and prototype testing demonstrates the optimum stiffness and damping properties for the radial and axial deflection in service conditions.

With recent advances in material technology, processing, and design concepts, AEG has achieved this vibration and shock performance improvement. This two element structural isolation concept is successfully used in aerospace and marine applications for sound and vibration isolation. Material choices and mount designs are established based on the requirements for the combined axial and radial loads experienced by the current mount systems. The dual mount design concept will be to maintain stiffness to dynamic loads, while providing enough damping to equipment vibration and shock loads.

The automotive industry could also apply this mount to an engine and silent mount design. The construction and heavy equipment industries can use these mounts on shocked vehicles for increased shock durability. This dual mount system will offer significant improvements in reliability and maintainability by reducing acquisition cost, reducing inspection intervals, extending the damage tolerance threshold and improving design efficiency.

AEG Torsional Damper - brief description

By
American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new “Dual Torsional Damper System”. This new AEG system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The torsional damper system will have two elastomer elements with top element functions as a vibration damping element and the bottom spherical elastomer element as a noise & harness damping element. AEG dual mode damper system includes a spherical soft viscous bushing hub designed for being rigidly connected to a drive shaft, and an inertia ring, connected to the hub by means of a thin Polyurethane material layer. This dual-layer elastomer damper system is designed for torsional vibration reduction of the crankshaft system on multi-cylinder engine for vehicles. AEG polyurethane torsional dampers are designed to provide significant reduction of sou...

Shell-to-solid submodeling and shell-to-solid coupling of a pipe joint

By
Submodeling is the technique used in ABAQUS for analyzing a local part of a model with a refined mesh, based on interpolation of the solution from an initial global model (usually with a coarser mesh) onto the nodes on the appropriate parts of the boundary of the submodel. Shell-to-solid submodeling models a region with solid elements, when the global model is made up of shell elements. Shell-to-solid coupling is a feature in ABAQUS by which three-dimensional shell meshes can be coupled automatically to three-dimensional solid meshes. The analysis is tested as a static process in ABAQUS/Standard
