Shock mount

Yachts also use shock mounts to dampen mechanical noise (mainly transmitted throughout the structure) and increase comfort.

A shock pulse is characterised by its peak acceleration, duration, and shape (half sine, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.).

A similar idea, also known as a shock mount, is found in furniture design, introduced by Charles and Ray Eames.

It provides some shock absorption and operates as a living hinge, allowing the seat back to pivot.

Generally, these pads consist of a cork or polymeric foam core which has been laminated between two pieces of ribbed neoprene sheet.

Generally, a molded rubber mount is best suited for heavy loads producing higher frequency vibrations.

They are typically applied to high performance applications, such as mounting sensitive instrumentation into off-road vehicles and shipboard.

Coil spring isolation mounts generally provide the greatest degree of movement and the best low frequency performance.

Their degree of movement makes them ideal for applications where high flexure and/or expansion and contraction are a consideration.

Large side-address studio microphone are generally strung in "cat's cradle" mounts, using fabric-wound rubber elastic elements to provide isolation.
