Abstract
It is shown that the addition of a small auxiliary mass to a vibration isolator using partial damping can reduce its transmissibility at low frequencies by one or two orders of magnitude. It is also shown that parasitic damping, such as air damping on the mass isolated from ground vibrations, has quite a large effect on the transmissibility curve and must, therefore, be taken into account.
