I'm not sure tbh, if you have a solid, shrunken lump inside of a steel box surely most of the vibration will just stay in the steel and not pass into the EG, the steel beam would also deform like normal steel until it made cotact with the EG beam?
This is why someone really needs to part with some cash and do some directly comparable real world tests...
