and Wormley,1997 Problems 5.21 page 168) It is common to mount machines and rotating equipment on shock isolation pads to reduce the transmission of time varying forces to the ground. In the system shown in figure 1 a machine represented as a mass m, has a vibrational force acting at its center of mass in addition to the gravitational force. The pad that supports the machine is made of a damping material with . The material nonlinear stiffness given by the constitutive equation , where also has damping properties that are approximately linear, that is, the damping force is proportional to the velocity across the pad.
