Bursting oscillations in an isolation system with quasi-zero stiffness

In this paper, we investigate the bursting oscillations in a vibration isolation system with quasi-zero stiffness to improve the efficiency and reliability. The complex nonlinear dynamics are studied by the bifurcation analysis of both generalized autonomous system and non-autonomous system to reveal the mechanism and modes of bursting oscillations. An approximation method for force transmissibility is proposed by using peak intersection of bursting oscillations to show the impact of bursting on vibration isolation. The results obtained in this paper show that the bursting generations are caused by both the transition from equilibrium to limit cycle and the equilibrium jumping. The main outcome of this paper is that the weakest bursting occurred when the system behaves single equilibrium, which avoids the influence on isolation efficiency and improves the system reliability.& nbsp; (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

Automated summary

This paper investigates bursting oscillations in a vibration isolation system with quasi-zero stiffness to improve efficiency and reliability. The complex nonlinear dynamics are studied through bifurcation analysis, and an approximation method for force transmissibility is proposed. The results show that bursting is caused by transitions from equilibrium to limit cycle and equilibrium jumping, with the weakest bursting occurring when the system behaves in a single equilibrium state.
