BS EN ISO 10846-1:2008 Acoustics and vibration - Laboratory measurement of vibro-acoustic transfer properties of resilient elements - Part 1: Principles and guidelines (ISO 10846-1:2008)
This part of ISO 10846 explains the principles underlying ISO 10846-2, ISO 10846-3, ISO 10846-4 and
ISO 10846-5 for determining the transfer properties of resilient elements from laboratory measurements, and
provides assistance in the selection of the appropriate part of this series. It is applicable to resilient elements
that are used to reduce
a) the transmission of audio frequency vibrations (structure-borne sound, 20 Hz to 20 kHz) to a structure
which may, for example, radiate fluid-borne sound (airborne, waterborne, or other), and
b) the transmission of low-frequency vibrations (typically 1 Hz to 80 Hz), which may, for example, act upon
human subjects or cause damage to structures of any size when the vibration is too severe.
The data obtained with the measurement methods, which are outlined in this part of ISO 10846 and further
detailed in ISO 10846-2, ISO 10846-3, ISO 10846-4 and ISO 10846-5, can be used for
⎯ product information provided by manufacturers and suppliers,
⎯ information during product development,
⎯ quality control, and
⎯ calculation of the transfer of vibrations through resilient elements.
The conditions for the validity of the measurement methods are
a) linearity of the vibrational behaviour of the resilient elements (this includes elastic elements with
non-linear static load-deflection characteristics, as long as the elements show approximate linearity for
vibrational behaviour for a given static preload), and
b) the contact interfaces of the vibration isolator with the adjacent source and receiver structures can be
considered as point contacts.
