Wave Pads -

[ IL = 20 \log_10 \left( \fraca_base, rigida_base, with\ pad \right) ]

The objective of this paper is to:

Geometric features (pyramids, channels, or periodic bumps) on the pad’s surface convert longitudinal waves into slower shear waves, increasing path length and viscoelastic loss. The loss factor ( \eta ) (ratio of dissipated to stored energy per cycle) for filled elastomers ranges from 0.05 to 0.3. wave pads

Compressors, pumps, and generators mounted on wave pads reduce floor-transmitted vibration by 15–25 dB, preventing structural fatigue and noise complaints. [ IL = 20 \log_10 \left( \fraca_base, rigida_base,
