Designing of Compact Low Frequency Vibration Isolator with Quasi-Zero-Stiffness

Abstract: This article considers the design of a compact isolator with quasi-zero stiffness. It has high vibration control properties at low weight and dimensions. Also the developed vibration isolator with quasi-zero stiffness can protect against lowfrequency vibration. The vibration isolator is of a passive type, made from a single elastic material, which will be compact and convenient in manufacturing. An analytical study of the vibration isolation, its manufacturing and experimental static study are presented. The n… Show more

“…A cubic fit confirms this behaviour, which has been suggested previously by several studies. 14 The actual stiffness plot presented in Figure 5 represents the immediate, or tangential stiffness as a function of the displacement demonstrating the lower value of stiffness, thus an optimal loading setting can be established for the isolators studied. In practice, one would want to establish an equilibrium point around the minimum stiffness value, the required load to attain this point is hence referred as the optimum load.…”

“…Note that elastic structures and materials with a nonlinear force characteristic with an almost flat section are called as systems with quasi-zero stiffness [3]. Such systems are currently actively developed in the field of protection against vibration and shock, since they ensure the almost complete absence of transmitted dynamic force, which makes them extremely effective for vibration isolation [4,5]. Providing almost zero (quasi-zero) stiffness at a certain load allows simultaneously obtaining low natural frequency, wide range of isolable frequencies.…”

“…Many scientists study systems with quasi-zero stiffness, for example Alabuzhev [1], Carrella [2], the author [3,4,5], etc. Different active methods of vibration isolation can also be used to create a system quasi-zero stiffness.…”
