Transmissibility : Engine Mount
𝑘 2 + 𝜔𝑒 𝑐 2 1 + 2𝜁Λ 2
= =
𝑘 − 𝑚𝜔𝑒2 2 + 𝜔𝑒 𝑐 2 1 − Λ2 2 + 2𝜁Λ 2

Without damping, Transmissibility =
1−Λ2
Transmissibility ratio vs. Tuning factor
Support Motion : Vibration Isolation
𝑚𝑐𝜔𝑒3
The phase difference is 𝛼 = tan−1 .
𝑘 𝑘−𝑚𝜔𝑒2 + 𝑐𝜔𝑒 2
This is this phase difference between the support and the mass.
Displacement ratio vs. Tuning factor
If Λ > √2 , the mass displacement amplitude 𝑋 is always less than the support
displacement amplitude 𝑌, irrespective of the damping ratio 𝜁.
Rotating Unbalance
The big mass 𝑚 has a small unbalanced mass 𝑚𝑑 at
an eccentricity 𝑒 from the rotation axis. The internal
inertia of the unbalanced mass causes horizontal and
vertical forces in the big mass due to conservation of
momentum (no external force).
Reason for unbalanced mass : geometric non-
uniformity, material non-homogeneity, external
parts/appendages.
Displacement of the Big mass : 𝑥 𝑡
Displacement of the unbalance mass : 𝑥 𝑡 +
