VIBRATION ISOLATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vibration isolation system wherein a vibrating mass such as a helicopter rotor-transmission assembly is spring coupled to a body to be isolated, such as the helicopter fuse- lage, at a plurality of points. Each coupling point includes, in addition to a coupling spring, a weighted lever arm pivot- ally connected to the vibrating mass and to the body, with the body-to-lever pivot connection lying between the center of gravity of the arm and the vibrating mass-to-lever pivot con- nection. The coupling spring is in the form of a torsion spring, e.g., torsion bar, coupled between the body and the lever arm at the pivot connection therebetween. Vibratory forces of a predetermined frequency transmitted from the vibrating mass to the body through the spring are substantially cancelled by inertial forces generated by the lever and applied to the body through the body-to-lever pivot connection, thus isolating the body from the vibrating mass at the predetermined frequency. A second form of isolation coupler is disclosed wherein a spring-mass structure is connected to the lever arm and tuned so that vibratory forces of a second, higher, predetermined frequency are also substantially cancelled by the inertial forces coupled to the body through the pivot connection between the body and the lever arm.
