Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first rigid element having a first rigid element section modulus; a first flexural element extending from the first rigid element to a second rigid element; the second rigid element having a second rigid element section modulus comparable with that of the first rigid element section modulus, both the first and second rigid element section moduli being orders of magnitude greater than a first flexural element section modulus; a second flexural element having a second flexural element section modulus comparable to that of the first flexural element section modulus, and orders of magnitude lower than the first and second rigid element section moduli; a third rigid element having a third rigid element section modulus comparable to that of the first and second rigid element section moduli, and orders of magnitude greater than the first and second flexural element section moduli; and the first, second, and third rigid elements and the first and second flexural elements, further being homogeneously formed of a single material, resulting in a monolithic mount having joint-free continuity of the single material from the first rigid element, through the second rigid element, to the third rigid element.
