Abstract. In this paper a one-degree of freedom passive vibration isolator system which is subject to harmonic base excitation is analyzed. The isolator is modellled as a parallel combination of a stiffness and damping element with cubic non-linearity. The method of averaging is used to obtain the steady-state harmonic response. A parametric analysis is conducted in order to investigate the influence of the system parameters on the relative and absolute transmissibility of the system from the viewpoint of possible improvement of the transmissibility of a system with linear viscous damping.
Key Words: Isolation, Base Excitation, Damping, Transmissibility

O RELATIVNOJ I APSOLUTNOJ PRENOSIVOSTI VIBRO- IZOLACIONOG SISTEMA SA KINEMATSKOM POBUDOM
U ovom radu se razmatra pasivni izolator vibracija sa jednim stepenom slobode sa harmonijskom pobudom osnove. Izolator se modeluje paralelno vezanom linearnom oprugom i prigušnicom kubne nelinearnosti. Metod osrednjavanja se koristi za određivanje stacionarnog harmonijskog odziva. Sprovodi se analiza uticaja parametara sistema na relativnu i apsolutnu prenosivost sa stanovišta mogućeg poboljšanja ovih karakteristika u odnosu na izolacione karakteristike sistema sa linearnim viskoznim prigušenjem.
