- Since frequencies vary with the square root of stiffness, the structure will always be at least a factor of 3 higher in frequency than the isolator resonance.
- vibration isolator
Examples
-
A vibration mount becomes an isolator at frequencies that exceed the square root of 2 multiplied by the isolation system's natural frequency.
Academic text (1993) -
The role of the shock and vibration isolator and attenuator is the same as with any engineered product.
Academic text (1993) -
So instead we're going to use these little rubber isolators to have what is what is a very vibration resistant mount.
-
With vibration, the concerns are frequency behavior, the ability to filter the vibration, and the strain capability of the isolator.
Academic text (1993) -
Based on that, engineers know that if frequencies exceed the square root of 2 times the natural frequency, the vibration mount will act as a vibration isolator.
Academic text (1993) -
Soft joints in a model, such as vibration isolators, must be carefully modeled, or key modes will be very inaccurate.
Academic text (1996) -
By reconciling both, the engineer may use one component as an effective vibration isolator and shock mount, providing protection from both vibratory and impact disturbances.
Academic text (1993) -
The systems are mounted on a 30-gallon ASME-coded receiver, and vibration isolators ensure smooth, vibration-free operation.
Academic text (1997) -

Etymology
Isolator comes from the old Latin insula 'island', so imagine a building sitting on an island separated from the moving ground. That is why an isolator reduces the shaking from an earthquake.
