Abstract
Vibrations lead to fatigue failure or damage that is harmful to the supporting structures of the device. It also transferred to other parts of the system and affected the experimental result. The vibrations of the thermoacoustic could also affect the system during the testing activities. Higher vibrations will cause an increase in unwanted streaming flow in the thermoacoustic system. The vibration problem can be solved by choosing suitable methods and approaches. Therefore, this project was carried out to study the vibration for the thermoacoustic system in Turbo Machinery Laboratory, UTeM using comparison method on suitable isolator materials to reduce vibration transmissibility. This project begins by researching the idea of the thermoacoustic system and studying how vibrations can occur in the system and how the vibrational problem can be minimized. In theoretical calculation, the mathematical modeling of the vibrational system is developed to determine the natural frequency of the thermoacoustic test rig. Then, the initial vibration measurement of the thermoacoustic test rig was conducted to determine the actual natural frequency of the test rig. Measurement only focuses on the structure of the system. After that, the isolator materials will be short-listed to find the suitable elastomer. A comparison of the properties of isolator materials will be conducted to identify the best material and its effectiveness in reducing the vibration. Finally, the best isolator material will be proposed to minimize the vibration problem in this system. Silicone rubber was selected as an isolator material in this project
