Key Concepts

Stiffness

Stiffness is a measure of an isolator’s resistance to deformation when subjected to a force. It is defined as the ratio of the force applied to the displacement produced (commonly denoted by k in F = kx) and is a critical parameter in dynamic systems where it determines how energy is transferred or absorbed during loading events.

Force Transmission

Force transmission refers to how input forces, especially transient or pulse loads, are conveyed through a system or isolator to connected structures. The design of isolation systems often focuses on minimizing the peak forces that are transmitted, preventing damage or undesired vibrations in the protected structure by appropriately tuning parameters such as stiffness.

Impulse

Impulse is the product of a force applied over a period of time and represents the change in momentum of an object. In the context of dynamic loading, understanding impulse helps in predicting how a system will react to a transient pulse of force, as it links the magnitude of the applied force and its duration to the resulting motion or deformation of the system.
