Isolation efficiency [(1 − T) × 100] versus natural frequency f n of a linearsingle-degree-of-freedom system with zero damping ratio ξ.small by selecting soft springs, which, in conjunction with light damping, providesgood isolation. The natural frequency can also be reduced by increasing the massbut this also increases the dead weight of the dynamic system, thus imposing agreater load on the supporting structure.A measure of the effectiveness of isolation as a function of frequency can begained by the parameter percent isolation (%I ) which is defined by%I = 100(1 − T )where T is the transmissibility which is ≤ 1. The isolation efficiency is usually plottedwith the disturbing frequency and natural frequencies as shown in Figure 20.9for a damping ratio ξ of zero.Example Problem 6A machine weighs 208.5 N and it is supported on a spring having a spring constantof 935.23 N/cm. A rotating mass within the machine generates a disturbing forceof 51.23 N at 4,800 rpm, owing to imbalance of the rotating mass. Determine theforce transmitted to the mounting base for ξ = 0.12.
