When the effects of dynamic loading (shock and vibration) on the structures become intolerable, structural damage or failure may appear. The Wire Rope Isolator (WRI), one of the passive shock and vibration isolation elements, can effectively isolate the structure from disturbing loadings. WRIs are extensively used in the industry for vibration and shock isolation. WRI is a relatively newly developed, highly non-linear passive isolation element. Understanding the dynamic characteristics of “Wire Rope Isolators” and establishing the necessary theoretical background is challenging. Our motivation in this thesis is to fully characterize the highly non-linear dynamic behaviour of helical WRIs by presenting necessary theoretical models and verifying these theoretical models with various experimental measurements.
