ABSTRACT:
A mounting device provides a dynamically stiff joint between two structural members, such as a machine foundation and a building structure. One of the structural members is subject to dynamic forces acting in a predetermined direction and the other is substantially static. The mounting device comprises a spanning element compressed between the structural elements to transmit dynamic forces between the structural elements in the predetermined direction and thereby restrict relative movement of the structural members. Movement-transmitting means, such as a ball joint, permits movement between the structural elements in all other directions. The spanning element is prestressed to provide a static force between the structural elements along the direction of the dynamic forces.
