Metal　rubber　has　been　extensively　used　in　recent　years　due　to　its　several　unique　properties,　especially　in　adverse　environments.　Although　many　experimental　studies　have　been　conducted,　theoretical　research　on　metal　rubber　is　still　in　its　infancy.　In　this　work,　a　dynamic　model　for　the　nonlinear　characteristics　of　pot-shaped　metal　rubber　is　established　on　the　basis　of　the　asymmetric　dynamic　model　of　the　wire　rope　shock　absorber　and　the　trace　method　model.　In　addition,　the　corresponding　parameters　in　the　model　are　identified　based　on　the　parameter-separation　method.　The　theoretical　hysteresis　loop　obtained　using　the　model　and　the　measured　hysteresis　loop　agree　with　each　other.　The　results　show　that　the　asymmetric　dynamic　model　can　better　describe　the　asymmetric　dynamic　characteristics　of　pot-shaped　metal　rubber.　Furthermore,　a　pot-shaped　metal　rubber　vibration　reduction　system　is　built　to　further　verify　the　correctness　of　the　model.　This　study　provides　an　experimental　reference　and　a　theoretical　basis　for　the　practical　application　of　pot-shaped　metal　rubber　in　the　field　of　three-dimensional　vibration　reduction.　©　2022　by　the　authors.
