The structure design and performance analysis for damping system of the airborne equipment

Vibration is an important factor that could affect the performance of airbone optical system, the damping device based on the wire-rope vibration isolators was designed in this paper, in which the optical system mounted on the helicopter was taken as an example. The transmissibility of the damping device was about 40% which obtained by finite element method, the transmissibility of the damping device was about 36% which obtained by vibration platform test, the result obtained by finite element method was proved by vibration platform test. The vibration of the optical system could been reduced significantly as a result of the device with good damping effect, thereby the stability of the optical system could be enhanced.
