the vibration isolation system on overall system dynamics. There are two
brief appendices that may be used as a refresher on ordinary differential
equations and matrix algebra. Each chapter has a few exercise problems that
can be solved to test the understanding of the content presented in the
chapter.
The models discussed in this book encompass a wide range that can
be useful for the analysis of passive vibration isolation systems. While some
of the models presented in this book have been used for quite some time,
others are relatively new and offer useful options for gaining an analytical
insight that can be used for design. Furthermore, some of the models are
phenomenological, while others are semi-empirical; therefore allowing a
design or analysis engineer to customize the models during the product
development process. Some of the models for elastomeric materials and
nonlinear behavior that have been discussed in this book are active areas
of research and continue to be discussed and investigated in the existing
literature. A surge in the use of electric powertrains has resulted in new
requirements for passive vibration isolation systems, a few models presented
in this book are possible options for the analysis of internal resonance in
such systems. I hope that the variety of models discussed in this book is
useful in the design and development of passive vibration isolation systems
by holistically accounting for vibration response, system dynamics, design
parameters, and isolator design.

1.1 Introduction
The use of vibration isolators and vibration isolation systems is widely
prevalent in multiple applications such as automotive, railroad, aerospace,
heavy machinery, civil structures, etc. Some of the main reasons for using
a vibration isolator include mitigation of resonance peaks, reduction of
transmissibility, enhancement of fatigue life, improvement in ergonomics,
etc. in the presence of external or internal sources of dynamic excitation.
The design of a vibration isolator requires a close examination of multiple
considerations such as the source of dynamic excitation, range of excitation
frequency, excitation amplitude, allowable displacement, acceleration limits
of the isolated system, available design envelope, etc. Additionally, consider-
ations of environmental conditions, manufacturability, and material choice
are also important. All these considerations accentuate the importance of
a theoretical model that can reasonably predict the performance of the
isolation system before finalizing the design and before manufacturing
prototypes that can be used for testing. Therefore, it is critical to select a
suitable model that can be correlated to test results and eventually used to
finalize design details.

used in case of hysteretic damping, with a lag between the applied force and
the resulting deformation.
Damping is a complex phenomenon that can be used to indirectly
represent the energy dissipated by the vibration isolation system during
repeated or cyclic loading. Viscous damping is commonly used to model
the damping of many vibration isolators. In some cases, hysteretic damping is
more suitable to represent the damping of a vibration isolator, which will be
discussed further in subsequent chapters.Three variables used to characterize
viscous damping are the damping constant, the critical damping constant,
and the damping ratio (also called the damping factor). The damping
constant (c) is defined as applied force per unit relative velocity
F
c= (1.5)
v
In Eq. (1.6), k is the stiffness constant and m is the mass of the system.
The damping ratio is defined as the unitless ratio between the damping
constant and the critical damping constant.

ω
In Eqs. (1.8) and (1.9), η is the loss factor defined in Eq. (1.4). It may
be noted that the equivalent damping ratio and the equivalent damping
constant assume a harmonic response, with frequency ω, to a harmonic
excitation. The variables k and k are the variables associated with complex
stiffness, as seen in Eqs. (1.2) and (1.3). It may be noted that some systems may
exhibit friction damping,details about such damping can be found in various
studies (Balachandran & Magrab, 2019; Inman, 2014; Thomson & Dahleh,
1998; Inman, 2014; Meirovitch, 1997; Rao, 2007 2017; Tongue, 2002).
of the system. Eq. (1.11) provides the time (t) history of displacement for
the undamped system when it is perturbed from its static equilibrium. The
steps in the development of the solution in Eq. (1.11) are not presented here.
Appendix A provides a brief introduction to the solution of the second-
order differential equations.
The EOM for an undamped SDOF system in the presence of an
excitation input can be expressed as
..
m x +kx = f (1.12)
In Eq. (1.12), f is the excitation force. The solution to the EOM in
Eq. (1.12) is a combination of the homogeneous and the particular solution
for a general excitation force, f = f0 ejωt , with an excitation frequency of ω,
and can be written as
f0 /k
x(t ) = c1 cos(ωnt ) + c2 sin(ωnt ) + 2
(1.13)
1 − ωωn
In Eq. (1.15), c1 and c2 are two constants that can be determined from
Also, the solution varies with the nature of λ1 and
the initial conditions.

− mk , to determine whether the system is
underdamped, overdamped, or critically damped. The steps needed for
solving the governing differential equation in Eq. (1.14) are provided in
Appendix A.
For vibration isolation, underdamping is the specific case of interest. For
underdamping, 0 < ξ < 1 and the solution in Eq. (1.15) can be modified as
follows:
x(t ) = e−ξ ωnt c1 cos(ωd t ) + c2 sin(ωd t ) (1.16)

x2 = − x2 − x1 + (1.21)
m m m
.
In Eqs. (1.20) and (1.21), x1 = x and x2 = x The system in Eqs. (1.20) and
(1.21) is equivalent to Eq. (1.17). The main advantage of expressing the
second-order differential equation as a system of the first-order differential
equations is the use of numerical methods. This is particularly beneficial for
a nonlinear system as a closed-form solution may not be readily available for
such a system. The system in Eqs. (1.20) and (1.21) can also be expressed in
a matrix form as
.
x1 0 1 x1 0
. = + 1 f (1.22)
x2 − mk − mc x2 m
can be used to calculate the damping ratio of 0.25. As the damping ratio is
less than one, the solution for an underdamped system in Eq. (1.16) can be
used. The natural frequency of the system is 100 rad/s. Applying the initial
conditions, the free vibration response can be expressed as
x(t ) = e−25t [0.01 cos(96.82t ) + 0.0036 sin(96.82t )] (E1.2.2)
The undamped natural frequency of the system is 100 rad/s and the
undamped natural time-period is 0.0628 s. However, the damped natural
frequency is 96.82 rad/s and the corresponding time-period is 0.0649 s.
The free vibration response of the viscous damped system is shown in
Fig. 1.5.
In addition to using the time domain, it is often beneficial to use the
frequency domain for vibration analysis. Applying Fourier transform to the
EOM in Eq. (1.17) with zero initial conditions yields the following:
−mω2 X (ω) + jcωX (ω) + kX (ω) = F (ω) (1.23)
In Eq. (1.23), X(ω) and F(ω) are the Fourier transforms for x(t) and f(t),
respectively. The transformed equation in Eq. (1.23) is often expressed in
Vibration isolation—background 15
the form of the ratio between X(ω) and F(ω), called the frequency response
function (FRF), and is expressed as
X (ω) 1
= (1.24)
F (ω) (k − mω2 + jcω)
The ratio in Eq.(1.24) is commonly used to plot the magnitude and phase
of the frequency response at varying frequencies of the excitation force. It
may be noted that the frequency response is plotted in multiple formats,
typically in semi-log or log-log format. Also, it is common to plot velocity
or acceleration response instead of the displacement response shown in
Eq. (1.24).
Impulse response is another commonly used means of calculating the
response of an SDOF system. This can be computed by writing the transfer
function for the system using the EOM in Eq. (1.17). Using the Laplace
transform and zero initial conditions yields the transfer function, H(s), of
this system as
X (s) 1
H (s) = = (1.25)
F (s) (ms + cs + k)
2
In Eq. (1.25), X(s) and F(s) are the Laplace transformations for x(t) and f(t),
respectively. This form is typically called the displacement transfer function.
Eq. (1.25) can be alternately expressed as
X (s) 1/m
H (s) = = 2 (1.26)
F (s) s + 2ξ ωn s + ωn2
All variables in Eq. (1.26) are already defined earlier in this section. For
an impulse input force, F(s) = 1, and the inverse Laplace of the transfer
function in Eq. (1.26) is called the impulse response of the system and is
often useful in experimental characterization. The impulse response for the
transfer function in Eq. (1.26) can be expressed as
−1 −1 1/m
h(t ) = L [H (s)] = L (1.27)
s2 + 2ξ ωn s + ωn2
In Eq. (1.27), L−1 is the inverse Laplace transform and h(t) is the impulse
response in time domain. Example 1.3 provides an example of the frequency
response of a damped SDOF system.
Example 1.3: For a damped SDOF system, as shown in Figure 1.3, with a
mass of 1 kg, a stiffness of 10,000 N/m, and a viscous damping constant of
50 N-s/m, plot the magnitude and phase of the frequency response.
16 Modeling and analysis of passive vibration isolation systems
Using the form expressed in Eq. (1.24), the frequency response for the
given system can be expressed as
X (ω) 1
= (E1.3.1)
F (ω) 10,000 − ω2 + j50ω
It may be noted that the units of the frequency response in eq. (E1.3.1) are
m/N. The magnitude and phase for the frequency response can be expressed
as
X (ω) 1
F (ω) = (E1.3.1a)
(10,000 − ω2 )2 + (50ω)2
X (ω) −1 50ω
∠ = −tan (E1.3.1b)
F (ω) 10,000 − ω2
The magnitude and phase response is plotted in Figs. 1.6 and 1.7,
respectively.

the eigenvalues of the system. These eigenvalues can be found from the
determinant (det) of the matrix as
det(λ2 I + M −1 K ) = 0 (1.30)
The values of λ from the solution of Eq. (1.30) are the undamped natural
frequencies of the system. For each eigenvalue, λi , a corresponding vector of
size n × 1, ψ i , can be computed from Eq. (1.29), these are the corresponding
mode shapes or eigenvectors of the system. Some critical properties of mode
shapes are as follows:
• Mode shapes (ψ) can be scaled arbitrarily.
• Mode shapes have a weighted orthogonality property. This implies that
for two different mode shapes, ψ r and ψ s (where, r = s), ψrT Mψs = 0
and ψrT Kψs = 0.
• For r = s, ψrT Mψs = Mr and ψrT Kψs = Kr , where Mr and Kr are
diagonal matrices. The values of Mr and Kr are called the modal mass
and the modal stiffness, respectively.
• As mode shapes can be scaled arbitrarily, values of modal mass and modal
stiffness are not unique or well-defined numbers for a system.
• Specific scaling of mode shapes can be performed to obtain the modal
mass matrix as an identity matrix. This is often useful as the inverse
of an identity matrix is the identity matrix itself and its use will be
demonstrated in the subsequent part of this section.
The general EOM for a damped MDOF system with an external
excitation can be expressed as
.. .
M X + C X + KX = F (1.31)
In Eq. (1.31), M, C, and K are the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices,
respectively, each system matrix is n × n, where n is the number of DOF
of the MDOF system. Also, X, is an n × 1 matrix and F is the n × 1
external force or moment matrix. The nature of the system matrices can
vary significantly from one system to another. However, regardless of the
nature of the system matrices, the EOMs can be diagonalized and solved in
terms of modal coordinates, using some of the properties of mode shapes
discussed earlier in this section. For proportional damping, the damping
matrix can be expressed as a linear combination of the mass and stiffness
matrices, with C = aM + bK, where a and b are real constants. Using a
coordinate transformation of X = ψq, where ψ is the mode shape matrix,
and premultiplying Eq. (1.31) by ψ T , the following diagonalized system is
Vibration isolation—background 19
obtained:
.. .
ψ T Mψ q +ψ T Cψ q +ψ T Kψq = ψ T F (1.32)
It may be noted that ψ consists of all the mode shapes. The EOM yield
a system of equations that are uncoupled and can be solved individually
to solve for the values of q, these values can then be combined as per the
coordinate transformation to find the actual solution.The EOM in Eq.(1.31),
using the formulation in Eq. (1.32), can be expressed as
.. .
Mr q +Cr q +Kr q = F (1.33)
In Eq. (1.33), Mr , Cr , and Kr are diagonal matrices, each matrix is n × n,
while F = ψ T F is n × 1. The masses in Mr are called the modal masses
and the stiffness values in Kr are called modal stiffnesses. However, as mode
shapes are scaled arbitrarily, the modal mass and modal stiffness may not be
unique or well defined. This can be resolved by scaling such that all modal
mass values are 1, thereby yielding a modal mass matrix, Mr , that is an identity
matrix.
In case of nonproportional damping, it is not possible to decouple the
damping matrix. This is called general damping. In such cases, it is common
to convert the EOM of the system to a state-space formulation and solve the
eigenvalue problem. For general damping, the EOM for a damped MDOF
system, as shown in Eq. (1.31), is equivalently expressed as
.
C M X.. K 0n×n X. F
+ = (1.34)
M 0n×n X 0n×n −M X 0n×1
In Eq. (1.34), 0n × n is the n×n zero matrix and 0n × 1 is the n × 1 zero
matrix. Eq. (1.34) can be written as a first-order system as follows:
.
AZ +BZ = F (1.35)
C M
In Eq. (1.35), Z = [X Ẋ ]T , F = [F 0n×1 ]T , A = and
M 0n×n
K 0n×n
B= . The eigenvalue problem for Eq. (1.35) can be solved to
0n×n −M
find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors by solving the following:
(A−1 B − λI )ψ = 0 (1.36)
In Eq. (1.36), λi are the eigenvalues and the corresponding ψ i are the
eigenvectors. An example of a proportionally damped and a nonpropor-
tionally damped two-DOF system is provided in Example 1.4.
20 Modeling and analysis of passive vibration isolation systems
The eigenvalues of this matrix yield the following: λ21 = 2641 and
λ22= 11,359.The eigenvectors corresponding to λ1 and λ2 are ψ 1 = [0.5620
0.8271]T and ψ 2 = [0.9650 − 0.2623]T. The eigenvectors are combined
0.5620 0.9650
to form the mode shape matrix as ψ = . The mode
0.8271 −0.2623
shape matrix can be used for the transformation of X = ψq to diagonalize
the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices. For this system, X = [x1 x2 ]T and
q = [q1 q2 ]T . The transformed matrices are as follows:
4.0522 0

The damped natural frequencies of the system are ωd1 = 8.17 Hz and
ωd2 = 16.95 Hz. The transformed EOM can be expressed as
.. .
m1r q1 + c1r q1 + k1r q1 = 0 (E1.4.5)
.. .
m2r q2 + c2r q2 + k2r q2 = 0 (E1.4.6)
Each transformed EOM can be solved independently by using the
solution for an SDOF system, one at a time. These solutions can then be

It may be noted that X(ω) and F(ω) are n × 1, where n is the number
of DOF of the system. The transformed system in Eq. (1.37) consists of a

2.1 Viscoelasticity
The exhibition of a combination of viscous and elastic behavior is defined
as viscoelasticity. Viscoelastic behavior is often modeled as a combination
of linear behavior of elastic solids as per Hooke’s law and linear behav-
ior of viscous fluids as per Newton’s law. The theory of viscoelasticity
allows accommodating material behavior that involves storage of mechanical
energy as well as dissipation of energy (Christensen, 2003). Most of the
passive vibration isolators exhibit viscoelastic behavior as they are designed
to provide stiffness and damping characteristics to isolate a system from
dynamic forces while allowing for a means of dissipating energy. The nature
of viscoelasticity can vary significantly from one vibration isolator to another
as the behavior can depend on the design, material selection, geometrical
attributes, environmental conditions, etc. As a result, an appropriate model
that represents key characteristics of the isolator needs to be judiciously
selected. For isotropic materials, it is common to represent the constituent
stress–strain relationship of viscoelastic materials in the form of a governing
differential equation. Such a constituent relationship can be adjusted to allow
incorporating a varying number of spring-damper elements and model any
time lag in resistance to deformation upon the application of a load while
also modeling some aspects of time-dependent behavior. Furthermore, these

The variables in Eq. (2.11) are similar to the variables defined in the
previous section for the Voigt model.
The reaction force of the isolator using the Zener model can be expressed
as
f (t ) = ky + c1 (ẏ − ẏ1 ). (2.12)
As there is an additional nodal degree-of-freedom (DOF) due to the
node in the Maxwell element between the spring and the damper, the
equilibrium equation at the node is
c1 (ẏ − ẏ1 ) = k1 y1 . (2.13)
In Eqs. (2.12) and (2.13), y1 is the displacement at the node between
the spring and the damper. Applying Laplace transform with zero initial
conditions to Eq. (2.12) results in the following:
F (s) = (k + c1 s)(s) − c1 sY1 (s). (2.14)
In Eq.(2.14), Y1 (s) is the Laplace transform of y1 (t).Application of Laplace
transform with zero initial conditions to Eq. (2.13) is used to determine Y1 (s)

Y1 (s) = (s). (2.15)
k1 + c1 s
Y1 (s) from Eq. (2.15) is substituted in Eq. (2.14) to eliminate Y1 (s) and
express the governing relationship between F(s) and (s) as
c1 kc1
1 + s F (s) = k + s + c1 s (s). (2.16)

The polynomial coefficients of Eq. (2.16) can be directly compared to
Eq. (2.11) to determine the coefficients of the Zener model as D1 = kc11 ,
G0 = 2A h
k,G1 = 2A ( k1 +c1 ).Furthermore,the stress–strain transfer function

It may be noted that Eq. (2.17) is written in the form of a ratio between
stress and strain to express the ratio as the complex modulus for the Zener
model. Furthermore, it may be noted that the force-displacement ratio in
frequency domain is often referred to as dynamic stiffness in the literature.
The governing EOM of an SDOF system supported by an isolator with
a Zener model, as shown in Fig. 2.2, can be expressed as
Élisabeth, toute vêtue de noir, était très belle. Le buste et les bras
s’étaient remplis. Le cou charnu émergeait de la robe un peu
échancrée. La tête, devenue mate et pâle, se couronnait d’or
assombri. Pour la millième fois, elle relisait la dernière phrase de la
dernière lettre que Pierre avait écrite de l’ambulance, une heure
avant de mourir. Il y répétait pour son fils, qui venait alors de naître,
le même mot qu’il lui avait dit un jour où elle lui prenait la main pour
l’appuyer sur sa taille où rampaient, par saccades, à travers la robe,
de dures ondulations. Elle se souvenait… « Tu lui enseigneras la
haine de la guerre… » Et comme, sans mot dire, et souriant un peu,
elle embrassait les rubans qu’il portait sur son cœur, celui qui est
rouge, celui qui est jaune et vert, celui qui est vert et rouge, il les
avait ramassés violemment, d’un geste, et jetés dans le feu.
Le feu brûlait aussi ce jour-là. Le feu, qu’on dit gai, est sinistre. Il
est éternel. La forme fond en lui, y laisse une poussière grise,
pareille à des cheveux morts. Il rit sans se lasser, comme un
squelette. La nuit est dehors, ou le froid. On est seul près de lui,
dans le crépuscule des chambres. On le regarde fixement.
Élisabeth, un genou entre ses mains jointes, arracha son regard
du feu. A trois pas, sur sa petite chaise, le fils de Pierre embrassait
son pantin en balbutiant des mots sans suite. Élisabeth frémit. Au
sein de la pénombre où éclataient les bosses, où les creux se
comblaient de noir, il avait le masque de Pierre, si profondément
accentué qu’elle crut voir la face du cadavre éclatante de vie dans
cette ébauche puissante où l’avenir du monde tremble sous la
brume charnelle des traits encore indistincts. Il ne baisait plus la
figure de carton rose dont les boucles blondes volaient. Le pantin
qu’il tenait aux pieds sautait de bas en haut, tournait, virait, ondulait,
dansait dans l’illumination rougeâtre projetée par la flamme brusque
dont les reflets multicolores promenaient sur sa face des rires, des
moues, des sourires, une fantastique animation. Par les poings de
l’enfant, l’homme dieu jouait à la vie. Sur son tablier blanc, Élisabeth
voyait, à chaque secousse, grandir une tache de sang. Elle avança
la main, épouvantée. Le foyer teignait en rouge le son qui
s’épanchait d’une entaille qu’il avait faite dans le ventre du pantin.
