Dynamic characteristics of two degree-of-freedom quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolation system with nonlinear springs

Yanqi Liu et al.

Summary: This study presents a two degree-of-freedom quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator based on the anti-resonance characteristics of a multi-degree-of-freedom system. Nonlinear inclined springs (NIS) are used to achieve the nonlinear stiffness, with both linear and cubic stiffness terms. The effects of various mechanical and structural parameters on the stiffness characteristics are analyzed, and the dynamic response and force transmissibility are numerically discussed. The results show that the system can achieve smaller stiffness and wider low-stiffness range near equilibrium position by using smaller structural parameters and nonlinear inclined springs with softening stiffness.

On the detailed design of a quasi-zero stiffness device to assist in the realisation of a translational Lanchester damper

G. Gatti et al.

Summary: A translational Lanchester damper adds damping to a structure using a combination of viscous damper and mass, but achieving low stiffness for the device is crucial to behave like a Lanchester damper rather than a dynamic vibration absorber. By utilizing a specific geometry with linear springs and rigid links, the device is able to maintain linear-like behavior despite its inherent nonlinearity. The study on how geometry affects the nonlinear behavior provides general guidelines for design, and a prototype incorporating the low stiffness element has been successfully tested on vibrating structures.

Enhanced vibration isolation performance of quasi-zero-stiffness isolator by introducing tunable nonlinear inerter

Chaoran Liu et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on enhancing the QZS isolator by introducing tunable nonlinear inerter (TNI) to improve low-frequency isolation performance. Analytical calculations, stability analysis, and numerical simulations were conducted to compare the isolation performances of the QZS isolator and the QZS-TNI isolator. Results show that adding the inerter considerably suppresses the bending trend of the transmissibility curve, leading to a wider frequency range of isolation and a lower peak transmissibility.
