Silicone shock-absorbent

Good compressibility of silicone liquids (up to 14%) is essential for their use as shock absorbers. In particular, they are used for filling the unions of cylinders and pipelines, for shock absorption for airplace chassis, for sheet metal dyes, for artilleiy weapons, etc. Apart from absorbing shocks, these liquids damp any ensuing oscillations, i.e. act as damping agents. 

Their high resistance to aging, moisture and ozone allows silicone rubbers to be used in lighting and signalling facilities, as well as in special-purpose electrical installations, as seals in meteorological devices and lights for airports, as shock absorbers, etc.

Silicone fluids are used in shock absorbers, hydraulic fluids, dashpots, and in other damping systems in high-temperature operations. 

Damping and energy absorbing Silicone, Fluorosilicone, Chlorobutyl Polyurethane Shock absorbers, mounts, and vibration dampers -65 to 300 Very low resilience, dead materials, moderate physicals. Silicones and fluorosilicones can be used over wider temperature range than chlorbutyl or polyurethane... 

Incidence of compression plasma flow on the silicon surface causes a shock-compressed plasma layer to form. The energy absorbed by silicon depending on the sample location ranges from 5 to 25 J per pulse, which corresponds (in our experimental conditions) to an increase in power density of plasma flow from 0.510 to 310 W/cm. In its turn, the density of charged particles in plasma varies from 10 cm at the maximum contraction to lO cm in the area of compression flow divergence. Under these conditions, the impact pressure developed by incident plasma flow on the silicon surface ranged from 10 to 30 bar.
