Abstract

A mechanical isotropic harmonic oscillator including a two rotational degrees of freedom linkage supporting an orbiting mass with respect to a fixed base with at least one spring element having isotropic and linear restoring force properties, such that a high degree of spring stiffness and reduced mass isotropy provides for reduced sensitivity to linear and angular accelerations.
