EN4 Dynamics and Vibrations Design Project Design, and Construction of a Vibration Isolation System Synopsis The goal of this project is to design, build and test a system to isolate a sensitive instrument from ground-borne vibrations. The deliverables for this project are: (i) A fabricated vibration isolation system (ii) A short report that (a) describes your design process; (b) includes a calculated estimate of the natural frequency of your isolation system; and (c) an estimate of the expected reduction in vibration amplitude that your device will achieve (iii) An oral presentation describing your design and demonstrating its performance. Prince Lab will be open for construction between April 4 and April 14 (see the class website for TA and Faculty hours). Project testing will take place between 9am and 5:30pm on April 14. 1. Introduction People and sensitive instruments need to be protected from vibrations. Buildings are mounted on special pads which isolate them from roadway vibrations caused by traffic; the suspension system on your car, and the padding on its seats, are Y0 ζ = 0.01 designed to protect you from K ζ = 0.05 / 1 uncomfortable vibrations induced by X0 10 ζ = 0.1 driving over a rough road; and n ζ = 0.2 o i instruments (such as electron t ζ = 0.4 a c
