<strong>CSM</strong> Platform: Syn<strong>the</strong>tic Granite<br />
Normalized response to impact over 60 ms<br />
<strong>CSM</strong> Platform<br />
Aluminum Bar<br />
High initial response <strong>the</strong>n vibrations<br />
are sustained up to 45 times longer<br />
than Syn<strong>the</strong>tic granite<br />
Steel Bar<br />
Low initial response but sustains<br />
vibration with very little decay<br />
Cast Iron Bar<br />
Low initial response but sustains<br />
vibrations 10 times longer than<br />
Syn<strong>the</strong>tic Granite<br />
Syn<strong>the</strong>tic Granite Bar<br />
High initial response however vibration<br />
decays very rapidly proving its superior<br />
damping characteristics
