Abstract: In this paper we describe how to choose the physical properties and shape of rubber springs to each their extreme values. This choice would guarantee optimal dynamic properties of a resilient supported periodic vibration source, in the frequency range under audio-frequency.

Keywords: maximal loading; minimal loading; rubber springs; minimal eigenfrequency; resilient support; optimisation; optimal dynamics; periodic vibration.
