1Ratio of two numbers: the number of load cases per figure in which the isolator was the most relatively efficient among the four types and the number of load cases per figure in which the isolator was the least relatively efficient one. 2The least relatively efficient isolation system (among the four types) in the study of the corresponding figure. 3The most relatively efficient isolation system (among the four types) in the study of the corresponding figure. |
