The demand for High temperature resistant metal rubber seals (MRS) with large ring-to-diameter ratio is very urgent in the industrial field. In this work, an O-type MRS with a large ring-to-diameter ratio was developed by embedding the spiral network metal rubber into the stainless steel ring with a special preparation process. The effects of frequency, porosity, and amplitude on the dynamic experimental performance of O-type MRS were studied in detail. The mechanical properties of the MRS were characterized by dynamic tests, and the damping sensitivity were analyzed by orthogonal tests. The results show that MRS has better stability under different frequencies of vibration. The energy consumption and loss factor of the sample increase with increases of porosity. With an increase in loading amplitude, the energy consumption and loss factor of the same porosity test sample increases, whereas the dynamic average stiffness of the specimen gradually decreases. Furthermore, the range analysis of the orthogonal experiment shows that the factors affecting the damping performance of the seal are porosity>amplitude>frequency. This study fills in the dynamic mechanical properties of O-shaped MRS, and provides a certain foundation for the engineering application of O-shaped MRS.
