Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Introduction
Passive vibration isolators of various kinds are used to reduce the transmission of vibration. Examples are
automobile engine mounts, resilient supports for buildings, resilient mounts and flexible shaft couplings for
shipboard machinery and small isolators in household appliances.
This part of ISO 10846 specifies a driving point method for measuring the low-frequency dynamic transfer
stiffness function of linear resilient supports. This includes resilient supports with non-linear static
load-deflection characteristics provided that the elements show an approximate linearity for vibration
behaviour for a given static preload. This part of ISO 10846 belongs to a series of International Standards on
methods for the laboratory measurement of vibro-acoustic properties of resilient elements, which also includes
documents on measurement principles, on a direct method and on an indirect method. ISO 10846-1 provides
global guidance for the selection of the appropriate International Standard.
The laboratory conditions described in this part of ISO 10846 include the application of static preload, where
appropriate.
The results of the method described in this part of ISO 10846 are useful for resilient supports that are used to
prevent low-frequency vibration problems and to attenuate structure-borne sound in the lower part of the
audible frequency range. However, for complete characterization of resilient elements that are used to
attenuate low-frequency vibration or shock excursions, additional information is needed, which is not provided
by this method.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10846-5:2008(E)

Acoustics and vibration — Laboratory measurement of vibro-
acoustic transfer properties of resilient elements —
Part 5:
Driving point method for determination of the low-frequency
transfer stiffness of resilient supports for translatory motion
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10846 specifies a driving point method for determining the low-frequency transfer stiffness for
translations of resilient supports, under a specified preload. The method concerns the laboratory
measurement of vibrations and forces on the input side with the output side blocked, and is called the “driving
point method”.
The stiffness resulting from measuring the input displacement (velocity, acceleration) and input force is the
dynamic driving point stiffness. Only at low frequencies, where the driving point stiffness and the transfer
stiffness are equal, can this method be used for determination of the dynamic transfer stiffness.
NOTE 1 In ISO 10846-2, the direct method for measuring the dynamic transfer stiffness is covered. The direct method
covers the determination of the low-frequency dynamic transfer stiffness and it covers, in principle, a wider frequency
range than the driving point method. Nevertheless, the driving point method is covered in the ISO 10846 series of
international standards as well. It is considered as a valuable option for owners of (often expensive) test rigs for driving
point stiffness measurements, to extend the use of these rigs with the determination of low-frequency dynamic transfer
stiffness.
The method is applicable to test elements with parallel flanges (see Figure 1).
Resilient elements, which are the subject of this part of ISO 10846, are those which are used to reduce
a) the transmission of vibration in the lower part of the audible frequency range (typically 20 Hz to 200 Hz) to
a structure which may, for example, radiate unwanted fluid-borne sound (airborne, waterborne or others),
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 vibration is too severe.
NOTE 2 In practice, the size of available test rig(s) determines restrictions for very small and for very large resilient
supports.
NOTE 3 Samples of continuous supports of strips and mats are included in the method. Whether or not the sample
describes the behaviour of the complex system sufficiently is the responsibility of the user of this part of ISO 10846.
Measurements for translations normal and transverse to the flanges are covered in this part of ISO 10846.
The method covers the frequency range from f = 1 Hz to the upper limiting frequency f . Typically

50 Hz u f u 200 Hz.

linearity
property of the dynamic behaviour of a vibration isolator, if it satisfies the principle of superposition
NOTE 1 The principle of superposition can be stated as follows: if an input x (t) produces an output y (t) and, in a
1 1
separate test, an input x (t) produces an output y (t), superposition holds if the input [ax (t) + bx (t)] produces the output
2 2 1 2
[ay (t) + by (t)]. This must hold for all values of a, b and x (t) and x (t); a and b are arbitrary constants.
1 2 1 2
NOTE 2 In practice, the above test for linearity is impractical and a limited check of linearity is performed by measuring the
dynamic transfer stiffness for a range of input levels. For a specific preload, if the dynamic transfer stiffness is nominally
invariant, the system can be considered linear. In effect, this procedure checks for a proportional relationship between the
response and the excitation (see 7.7).

4 Principle
The measurement principle of the driving point method is discussed in ISO 10846-1. The basic principle is that
the input force and either the input displacement, velocity or acceleration are measured with the output side of
the vibration isolator blocked. From these measurements, the driving point stiffness k is determined. At low
1,1
frequencies, up to the frequency f , k is about equal to the transfer stiffness k .

The foundation shall provide a sufficient reduction of the vibrations on the output side of the test object,
compared to those on the input side.
The mass between the test isolator and the Input-force transducers causes a bias error in the measurement of
the input force, which limits the frequency range for the correct measurement of k , and is one cause of
1,1
deviation between k and k .
1,1 2,1
The inertial properties leading to eigenmodes of the resilient element is another cause of deviation between
k and k .
1,1 2,1
This part of ISO 10846 gives a method to determine the frequency limit f , up to which the accuracy of the
UL
equivalency between k and k is equal to or within 2 dB.
