Abstract: Elementary vibration theory based on transfer response analyses of single-degree-of-freedom systems indicates that an increase in isolation system damping causes a decrease in resonant transmissibility. ...

Abstract: General solutions are obtained for the natural frequency and deflection of hardening vibration isolators that fall into the “tangent elasticity” class of nonlinearity for the case of small ...

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of resonant vibration control in designing structures to function in modern dynamic environments. Methods of specifying structural damping are given and damping ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental dynamic response characteristics of structural design configurations employing viscoelastic shear-damping mechanisms that have been discussed in a previous paper. ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the performance characteristics of single degree-of-freedom vibration isolation systems in which the isolator damping force is proportional to the relative velocity across the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation of electrohydraulic vibration isolation systems that employ multiple electronic feedback signals to control the action of a hydraulic actuator ...
