description In order to enhance the vibration isolation effectiveness of an underwater vehicle power plant, and alleviate the mechanical vibration of the outer housing, initially discrete vibration isolators were improved, and three new types of ring vibration isolators designed, i.e., ring metal rubber isolators, magnesium alloy isolators and modified ultra-high polyethylene isolators (MUHP). A vibrator excitation test was carried out, and the isolation effectiveness of the three types of vibration isolators was evaluated, adopting insertion loss and vibration energy level drop. The results showed that compared with the initial isolators and the other two new types of isolators, MUHP showed the most significant vibration isolation effectiveness. Furthermore, its effectiveness was verified by a power vibration test of the power plant. To improve the vibration isolation effectiveness, in addition to vibration isolators, it is essential to carry out investigations on high-impedance housings.
