Resilient mounts are essential for anti-vibration and shock absorption applications, making accurate predictions of their static and dynamic behaviors critical for effective design and mechanical performance. This study investigates static and dynamic characteristics of resilient mounts to predict their effects. Tension, compression, and shear tests were performed under quasi-static loading conditions to obtain stress-strain cycle curves. This study includes a review of the Yeoh hyperelastic model, which consists of three parameters, and discusses the calibration of these parameters to describe the hyperelastic material behavior. The parameters were validated through numerical analysis by comparing them with experimental results from quasi-static tests on the resilient mount. The dynamic behavior was further analyzed using modal analysis and frequency response simulations under various preload conditions. Results show that increasing preload significantly shifts the transmissibility curves and resonance peaks to lower frequencies. This study offers valuable insights into static and dynamic characteristics of resilient mounts, contributing to the design and optimization of vibration isolation systems for naval applications.
