An isolator including a body having a wall with slots that extend through a thickness of the wall from an isolator exterior to an isolator interior; the isolator comprising a center of elasticity; the slots having a cut angle oriented as angled relative to a radial direction orthogonal with an axis of the isolator; and a damping material disposed within at least one of the slots.

3-axis tunable metal isolator

A nosecone is provided and includes a ring that includes an angled surface, a nosecone tip, a double-walled shroud portion including inner and outer dome elements, a first end that interfaces with and is constrained by the nosecone tip and a second end that is connectable to the ring to define with the angled surface a sliding, resistive interface and a shim disposable in the double walled shroud portion to pre-load the sliding, resistive interface and to provide for separation distance between the inner and outer dome elements.
