Abstract

A vibration reducing assembly including a flexible headgear and at least one panel of vibration reducing material secured to the flexible headgear. The at least one panel of vibration reducing material includes at least a first elastomer layer and a reinforcement layer comprising a high tensile strength fibrous material.

Claims (7)

1 . A vibration reducing material comprising:

at least a first elastomer layer having a given perimeter and defining a first major surface; and

a reinforcement layer comprising a high tensile strength fibrous material secured to the elastomer layer,

wherein the first elastomer layer defines a plurality of channels in the first major surface with the channels defining at least one inlet and one outlet adjacent the given perimeter.

2 . The vibration-reducing material of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least first elastomer layer and the reinforcement layer are one of i) soaked in, ii) embedded in, or iii) encapsulated by a resistive fluid resulting in a resistive fluid layer.

3 . The vibration-reducing material of claim 2 , wherein the resistive fluid is one of a shear thickening fluid, a dilatant, and a magnetorheological fluid.

4 . The vibration-reducing material of claim 2 , wherein the resistive fluid layer is separated from the user by the elastomer layer.
