Abstract

The high-frequency behavior of complex mechanical systems can be predicted with relatively great accuracy on the basis of the asymptotic frequency difference between successive resonances, the effective mass of the system, and its damping. It is shown that the same theory, with slight modifications, also describes the low-frequency behavior of mechanical systems of any complexity, at least as far as the theory of vibration insulation is concerned. The conclusions are illustrated by theoretical computations and experimental results. (This work was partially sponsored by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.)
