The vibration isolator using a novel magnetic spring with negative stiffness (MS-NS) is
proposed in this paper. The proposed isolator which combines a positive stiffness spring …

Microvibration is a severe issue that is present in many components on spacecraft, such as
cryocoolers, thrusters, solar arrays, and momentum/reaction wheel assemblies (M/RWAs) …

Most existing quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) isolators with excellent vibration isolation
performance in the low-frequency range are designed to attenuate vibration transmission …

Harmful vibrations can cause many engineering problems, such as disasters of civil
engineering structures, failure of precision equipment, and the disruption of some spacecraft …

ABSTRACT A three-dimensional (3-D) base isolation system to control both the horizontal
and vertical components of ground motion is presented in this paper. The system is adopting …

By employing the nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics of a bio-inspired X-shaped
structure (XSS) with passive springs and the Stewart platform with six degrees of freedom, a …

A new type of piecewise negative stiffness (NS) mechanism is designed and the relationship
between the force and displacement is studied. At first, the prototype of the piecewise NS …

In laboratories and high-tech manufacturing applications, passive vibration isolators are
often used to isolate vibration sensitive equipment from ground-borne vibrations. However …

The potential beneficial performance of a Multi-Direction Quasi-Zero-Stiffness vibration
isolator (MDQZS-VI) with linear time-delayed active control is investigated in this study. From …

By now, existing isolators with quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) or high-static-low-dynamic stiffness
(HSLDS) have been designed to migrate the vibration in single direction, but the vibration …
