Abstract

In isolators of single degree of freedom (SDF), the natural frequency must be as low as possible to increase the effectiveness of the anti-vibration. In each isolator, factors influencing the natural frequency such as the length of a pendulum in a simple pendulum, stiffness of a spring in the mass–spring system, etc., are different. In this paper, it is shown that the stored potential energy is a factor which has the biggest influence on the natural frequency. From this factor, a general method to reduce the natural frequency is then introduced.
