Abstract
A material adapted to regulate vibration by distributing and partially dissipating vibration exerted thereon.
Claims35
A material adapted to regulate vibration by distributing and partially dissipating vibration exerted thereon, the material comprising:
- a first elastomer layer;
- and
- a support structure embedded within the first elastomer layer, the support structure comprising a second elastomer layer different from the first elastomer layer and having a first plurality of particles therein that distribute vibration within the material, the support structure having a greater rigidity than the first elastomer layer, the support structure comprising a plurality of passageways, the passageways comprising areas where portions of the second elastomer layer and portions of the plurality of particles have been removed from the support structure, the first elastomer layer penetrating the plurality of passageways in the support structure such that a portion of the first elastomer layer is positioned on opposed sides of the support structure;
- wherein the material is substantially free of voids.

A material adapted to regulate vibration by distributing and partially dissipating vibration exerted thereon, the material comprising:
- a first elastomer layer;
- and
- a semi-rigid support structure formed by a second elastomer layer different from the first elastomer layer and embedded within the first elastomer layer, the support structure having a greater rigidity than the first elastomer layer, the support structure comprising a plurality of passageways, the passageways comprising areas where portions of the second elastomer layer have been removed from the support structure, the first elastomer layer penetrating the plurality of passageways in the support structure such that a portion of the first elastomer layer is positioned on opposed sides of the support structure;
- wherein the material is substantially free of voids.
