Vibration response analysis of floating slab track supported by nonlinear quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolators

Ze-ming Zhao et al.

Summary: This study focused on improving the low-frequency vibration reduction effect of a steel spring floating slab track (FST) by using nonlinear quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolators composed of positive stiffness elements (PSEs) and negative stiffness elements (NSEs). By controlling the stiffness of the PSEs and NSEs to meet the dynamic displacement limit and enhance the bearing capacity, the vertical vibration acceleration level (VAL) of the floating slab and the supporting force of the FST can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect.
