^new^ | Wave Pads

For typical steel-elastomer-steel sandwich, ( T \approx 0.01 ) at normal incidence, providing 20 dB reduction. A wave pad acts as a spring-mass system. The mounted equipment (mass ( m )) sits on pads with total stiffness ( k ). The natural frequency ( f_n ) is:

[ f_n = \frac12\pi \sqrt\frackm ]

Surface patterns are molded or die-cut. Typical thickness: 6–25 mm. Load ratings: 50–5000 kPa. 4.1 Methodology A standardized test was conducted using an electrodynamic shaker (10–500 Hz) exciting a 50 kg steel mass mounted on four 100×100×12 mm wave pads (neoprene, 40 Shore A). Acceleration was measured on the source mass and on the base plate. Insertion loss (IL) was computed as: wave pads
