Patent ID: 7883071

Claim:
A shock and vibration isolation system for mounting an equipment body to a structure, comprising: a plurality of elastic elements to couple the equipment body to the structure, the plurality of elastic elements disposed in a plane around a planar base of the equipment body and asymmetric about a center of gravity of the equipment body with the plane in which the elastic elements are disposed located away from a center of gravity of the equipment body, wherein each of the plurality of elastic elements faces the equipment body at an isoelastic angle at which each of the plurality of elastic elements has a substantially uniform stiffness along three translational degrees of freedom, and a center of elasticity of the plurality of elastic elements is arranged substantially coincident with the center of gravity of the equipment body to decouple a first vibrational mode of the equipment body along a first axis from a second vibrational mode along a second axis other than the first axis, with a vibrational response of the equipment body isoelastic with respect to the structure when the equipment body is mounted to the structure.
