Vibration Reduction for a Local Operation Panel Mounted by Wire Rope Isolator

Abstract

This paper reviews a finite element model of a wire rope isolator (WRI) via an experimental comparison test. A local operation panel (LOP) mounted on a WRI is modeled using a finite element method. Mode analyses and harmonic analyses are conducted while varying of the thickness of the rope for the WRI. A feasible WRI can be selected considering the reduction of the vibration and the total weight of the LOP system.
