ABSTRACT:
An isolation system which prevents energy from being transferred by the vibrating member of a resonator to its end mounts is formed by having isolator springs coupled to respective isolation masses. Each of the isolation masses is connected to a corresponding end mount. Each pair of isolator springs is angled in such a way that the axes of the isolator springs would intersect at a node located somewhere along the longitudinal axes of the vibrating member. Consequently, the axes of the isolator springs are positioned perpendicularly to loci of motions representing the direction of force and moment reactions produced at the roots of the vibrating member.
