Vibration Isolation of Floating Raft System

The objective of the research is to study the vibration isolation of the floating raft system. The mathematical equation of floating raft system is consisting of machines, upper mounts, floating raft, lower mounts and foundation is derived. The configuration and the behavior of the floating raft system are studied parametrically. The displacement or vibration of the floating machine on the floating raft is measured and studied. Models are generated by using MATLAB code and software.
Through numerical simulations, based on the result comparison, the efficiency of the presented model will be discussed to obtain some valuable results and to present some general design principles and requirement for the passive vibration isolation of floating raft systems.
