When designing the Adventurer
computers, AR Engineering evaluated a variety of materials to help
guard the unit against the shock and vibration inherent to the
marine environment.
We selected Sorbothane because
the material offered excellent rebound properties (approximately
1.1) and performance stability over a wide temperature range and
reduced the acceleration profile from 300 g's to less than 30 g's.
These characteristics are critical to our applications.
Sorbothane is a viscoelastic
material widely recognized for its excellent shock and vibration
isolation characteristics. A major benefit of the material is its'
ability to isolate unwanted energy by lowering the natural frequency
of a system. Sorbothane also exhibits high damping properties over a
broad temperature and frequency range.
