The aseismic problem of important industrial facilities can be solved by isolation method. The approach is to install isolators between the objects that need to be protected against earthquakes and the foundations, The huge spreading wave energy is absorbed and dissipated after passing through the isolator, the seismic deformation mainly occurs on isolation device, it will make the vibration kinetic energy and seismic deformation of the moving objects can be controlled within the range that the equipment can withstand, and protect equipment will not be damaged by the strong vibration of the earthquake. According to the same principle, energy dissipation materials can be used to design shock absorbers to absorb vibration caused by machines placed on the floor or on the ground, will make the machine to the floor or ground vibration greatly reduced, create a good working environment.

Wire rope vibration isolator was developed successfully by America in the 1970s, it is a typical nonlinear vibration isolator, its damping force characteristics have something to do with deformation with good vibration isolation performance. When the amplitude is large enough, the wire rope isolator is using dry-friction damping of each wire rope to absorb and dissipate vibration energy. When the amplitude is small, there is no dry-friction damping between each wire rope, it is elastic amplitude depends on wire rope component. The wire rope vibration isolator is a new generation of the elastic component, its advantages are known by people gradually, it is successfully used in ships, warships and aerospace fields. Its prospects of application are wide.

Foundation isolation for medium and short period structures under the influence of ground motion in short periods，the effect of vibration absorption is better than that of energy dissipation, but it is sensitive to the input characteristics of ground motion, and cannot completely eliminate the risk of resonance. Semi-active control and hybrid control method can meet different defense requirements to improve the safety of structures under earthquake, if intelligent components are introduced, the effect will be better, so it's a new area that deserves attention. In addition, cooperation and cross-study should be carried out between different disciplines and majors, development and use of devices, institutions and supporting technologies to form new industries as soon as possible to support the promotion and application of new technologies and to create a safer and more comfortable working and living environment for human beings.
