Abstract

Air springs are nonlinear vibration isolators with variable stiffness and natural frequency unvarying with loads. Cuboid air springs have a higher space-utilizing rate than conventional rotator air springs do. Here, based on the existing theoretical studies on dynamic characteristics of rotator air springs, considering influences of system natural frequency on polytropic exponent and vertical dynamic characteristics, a nonlinear stiffness model of air springs was established and the vertical stiffness calculation formula was extended. The conceptual adiabatic frequency threshold was proposed. A new cuboid air spring was designed and tested. Test results agreed well with those of theoretical prediction. Compared with the dynamic features of commercial air springs, it was shown that the new designed cuboid air spring has advantages of a larger load-bearing ability and a higher space-utilizing rate.

Key words
