The natural frequency, dynamic stiffness, and insertion loss of commercially available neoprene pad vibration isolators have been measured in a simple, single degree of freedom system over a wide range of pad loadings out to a maximum frequency of 10 kHz. The results reveal that dynamic stiffness can vary significantly with pad loading as well as the durometer of the material. It will also be shown that insertion loss follows the theoretical single degree of freedom curve only out to a frequency that is about 5 to 10 times the natural frequency, depending upon the pad durometer rating. Above that frequency wave resonances in the material cause the insertion loss to deteriorate significantly out to a frequency near 1 kHz, above which the insertion loss maintains a relatively constant value, again depending upon the pad durometer rating. In some instances the insertion loss values can approach 0 dB or even become negative at specific frequencies in the frequency region that is 10 to 20 times the natural frequency of the system.

Pressure-impulse (P-I) diagrams, which relates damage with both impulse and pressure, are widely used in the design and damage assessment of structural elements under blast loading. Among many methods of deriving P-I diagrams, single degree of freedom (SDOF) models are widely used to develop P-I diagrams for damage assessment of structural members exposed to blast loading. The popularity of the SDOF method in structural response calculation in its simplicity and cost-effective approach that requires limited input data and less computational effort. The SDOF model gives reasonably good results if the response mode shape is representative of the real behaviour. Pressure-impulse diagrams based on SDOF models are derived based on idealised structural resistance functions and the effect of few of the parameters related to structural response and blast loading are ignored. Effects of idealisation of resistance function, inclusion of damping and load rise time on P-I diagrams constructed from SDOF models have been investigated in this study. In idealisation of load, the negative phase of the blast pressure pulse is ignored in SDOF analysis. The effect of this simplification has also been explored. Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) codes were developed for response calculation of the SDOF system and for repeated analyses of the SDOF models to construct the P-I diagrams. Resistance functions were found to have significant effect on the P-I diagrams were observed. Inclusion of negative phase was found to have notable impact of the shape of P-I diagrams in the dynamic zone.
