Acceleration is a vector quantity that specifies the time rate of change of velocity.

Amplitude is the maximum value of a sinusoidal quantity (i.e. acceleration, displacement).

The point of support at which a body would be in balance.

Damping is dissipation of energy in an oscillating system. Limits maximum amplitude at isolator natural frequency.

A decade is the interval between two discrete frequencies having a basic frequency ratio of ten. For example, frequencies of 7 Hz and 70 Hz are said to be one decade apart.

Deflection is the distance an elastic body or spring moves when subjected to a static or dynamic force. Typical units are inches or mm.

Displacement is the change of position of a body, usually measured form the mean position of rest. Common units are inches (double amplitude) or mm (double amplitude). Displacement is related to acceleration by frequency.

A generic term which encompasses all types of rubber, natural or synthetic. There are numerous families of elastomers. The type of elastomer chosen for any application depends on the environment in which the elastomer will be used.

Forced vibration is the vibration resulting from the application of an external periodic force.

A foundation is a structure that supports the gravity load of a mechanical system. Fabreeka International, Inc.
