For effective vibration isolation, it is desirable to increase the frequency ratio r to a value much larger than sqrt(2) by either reducing the stiffness of the system or increasing its mass. This is ...

That's where vibration isolation/dampening pads come in ... ranging from the puck style shown here to square pads and even rubber mats designed to accomplish the same thing.

Pneumatic air tables are not meeting customer requirements as well as the more modern technology of negative-stiffness vibration isolation. More than 20 years since its introduction, it has shown ...

[Engineering After Hours] decided to tackle this problem with a simple vibration isolator design. (Video, embedded below.) The first step is to analyse the vibration to get an idea of the ...

Neil Savage describes a selection of products designed for the task. Vibration isolation has always been important for many applications involving photonics, but as group director for vibration ...
