Summary:The longitudinal fluctuating forces of a propeller are a major cause of sound radiation of an underwater vehicle in the low frequency range. A hydraulic leveraged dynamic anti-resonance vibration isolator (HLVI) is proposed to attenuate the longitudinal vibration of a shaft system transmitted to the hull. The semi-analytical model of the shafting system with and without the isolator is set up by employing the frequency response synthesis method, in which the elasticity of the foundation is taken into consideration. Compared to the traditional isolation scheme and DVA, the proposed control scheme will not change the longitudinal effective stiffness and needs a small mass to attenuate the longitudinal vibration of the shafting system. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the key parameters of the isolator and their impact on its isolation performance. An experimental apparatus is set up to validate the isolation scheme. The acceleration frequency response results of the shafting system under axial excitation with both the frequency sweep method and discrete sinusoidal frequencies are presented and discussed. The results indicate that the proposed method is capable of attenuating the corresponding longitudinal vibration of the shafting system.
