Assessment of Waveguide Vibration Isolator

Abstract

A method is proposed for comparing the dynamic performance of different types of vibration isolators, and relies on having equal compression ratios of the rubber elements. The method is used to compare a waveguide vibration isolator with a blank vibration isolator. The four-pole parameters of the vibration isolators are measured, and experimental data presented. There appears to be no significant advantage in using the waveguide vibration isolator.
