a method of fabricating an isolator mount is presented . the method includes plasticating a polymeric material , forcing the polymeric material through a shaping die , forming a continuous extrusion so that shear flow aligns a plurality of energy damping particulates within the polymeric material along a preferred direction , and cutting the continuous extrusion after the forming step . in yet another embodiment , the fabrication process includes extruding a polymeric material having a plurality of energy damping inclusions therein , inducing a magnetic flux density field so as to align the energy damping inclusions in a preferred direction before cooling of the polymeric material , and inducing a magnetic bias across the polymeric material so as to form an rl equivalent circuit .
