Vibration and Noise Control in T&D

It is very often that “just putting some rubber” to isolate structures creates an inefficient or even a vibration isolation problem, without taking into account the characteristics of the whole system: such as media environment and temperature, material stiffness adjusted to the application load, surface area, material transmissibility, as well as pad design techniques, like shape factor conformity. These are fundamental to a good anti-vibration material selection and consequent noise reduction.
