    Statically determinate vs indeterminate

    I have two components; the first is mounted using statically determinate “rigid” mounts. The second is mounted using statically indeterminate “flexible” mounts. The mounts are attached to a surface, which an impact load is applied to. I am trying to see how effective using mounts based on the...

    Help designing a simple vibration-isolator?

    Thanks, have looked at them, but they would allow the object to rock back and forth which is not desirable.

    Help designing a simple vibration-isolator?

    Thanks again for the replies. Fex32, what do you mean by "This is because the pinned connection will be in a singularity to sideways forces."? The object should not be able to move side-to-side, relative to the structure, (apart from due to manufacturing tolerances between the shock absorber...

    Help designing a simple vibration-isolator?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm afraid I can't say too much about the system. However - the object is a small vibration sensitive device, around 300grams. The structure it is attached to is travelling over rough ground at a constant speed - the surface roughness is approximately...

    Help designing a simple vibration-isolator?

    Unfortunately the mass of the structure the object is attached to is not adjustable.

    Help designing a simple vibration-isolator?

    Hi all, I am trying to design a vibration isolator, to protect a fairly small object from vibrations caused due to travelling over rough ground. I have used an accelerometer to record the G's in X Y and Z directions experienced due to the surfaces. I have done Fourier Transform on this...
