Vibration isolation on light weight floor

Hammer, Per LU and Brunskog, Jonas LU (2002) In Building Acoustics 9(4). p.257-269
Abstract
A theoretical and experimental study of vibration isolation for a source on a lightweight floor structure is presented. The effectiveness of one-stage and two-stage isolator systems is studied. Approximate formulae are presented for both low and high frequency for the receiver, the floor structure. For the mobility, a comparison between approximate formulae, numerical exact results and experimental results are presented. The low frequency asymptote for the approximate mobility is valid up to l/p 1/4. The high frequency asymptote is valid from l/p 1/2. A straight line can be drawn between these two points for the intermediate range 1/4 < l/p < 1/2. Finally, a case study is presented. A fan is mounted on a wooden joist floor. The... (More)
A theoretical and experimental study of vibration isolation for a source on a lightweight floor structure is presented. The effectiveness of one-stage and two-stage isolator systems is studied. Approximate formulae are presented for both low and high frequency for the receiver, the floor structure. For the mobility, a comparison between approximate formulae, numerical exact results and experimental results are presented. The low frequency asymptote for the approximate mobility is valid up to l/p 1/4. The high frequency asymptote is valid from l/p 1/2. A straight line can be drawn between these two points for the intermediate range 1/4 < l/p < 1/2. Finally, a case study is presented. A fan is mounted on a wooden joist floor. The effect of both one and two stage isolation is demonstrated. It is clearly seen that the high mobility situation for the receiver is increased by adding a rigid body to the mount. Hence, in the frequency range of interest, the 'receiver' acts more or less as a blocked termination. A two-stage isolator almost completely eliminates the structure borne sound and compared to a one-stage isolator it reduces the sound by 20 dB at the rpm for the fan. (Less)
