Abstract
A mount for a vibratory member, such as an elongate half wavelength resonator, includes a pair of cylindrical flexural tubes, each tube coupled with one end to the nodal region of the member and the other end of each tube coupled to a stationary member. The axial length and the thickness of the tubes are selected to enable the tubes to flex radially responsive to the substantially radial vibrations manifest at the nodal region of the member so as to decouple the vibrations of the member from the stationary member. A method of decoupling a vibration member from its stationary mount is also described.
