In this study, a novel vibration isolator is presented. The presented isolator possesses the controllable stiffness and can be employed in vibration isolation at a low-resonance frequency. The controllable stiffness of the isolator is obtained by manipulating the negative stiffness-based current in a system with a positive and a negative stiffness in parallel. By using an electromagnetic device consisting of permanent magnetic rings and coils, the designed isolator shows that the stiffness can be manipulated as needed and the operational stiffness range is large in vibration isolation. We experimentally demonstrate that the modeling of controllable stiffness and the approximation of the negative stiffness expressions are effective for controlling the resonance frequency and the transmissibility of the vibration isolation system, enhancing applications such as warship stealth technology, vehicles suspension system, and active vibration isolator.

This paper provides a review of active control strategies used to isolate high-precisionmachines (e.g. telescopes, particle colliders, interferometers, lithography machines or atomic force microscopes) from external disturbances. The objective of this review is to provide tools to develop the best strategy for a given application. Firstly, the main strategies are presented and compared, using single degree of freedom models. Secondly, the case of huge structures constituted of a large number of elements, like particle colliders or segmented telescopes, is considered.

The conventional single-degree-of-freedom approach to isolator design dealt with in most undergraduate curricula, is not always adequate for the design of practical isolator systems. In this article, an optimization approach to the design problem is presented and the viability of the approach demonstrated. It is, however, also shown that multiple local minima may exist and that due care should be exercised in the application of the method.

In this study, a novel negative stiffness spring is developed. The developed spring possesses the characteristics of the controllable stiffness and can be employed in vibration isolation system with a low resonance frequency. The controllable electromagnetic negative stiffness spring (CENSS) is obtained by the coaxial permanent magnets (PMs) and the circular current-carrying coils. The stiffness control is accomplished by changing the current in the coils. Furthermore, the mathematical model of CENSS is established, based on the filament method. According to the model, the relationship between the exciting current and the axial stiffness is obtained. Moreover, the influence of the structural parameters of CENSS on the magnetic force and the stiffness is analyzed. The results demonstrate that the thickness of PMs and the coils have the ability to adjust the range of the negative stiffness. Finally, performance experimental study of CENSS in the stiffness domain is carried out under different exciting currents and thicknesses. The experimental results have shown a good agreement with the model. It demonstrates that the performance of negative stiffness in CENSS can be controlled efficiently by the exciting current and optimized by the thickness.

To reduce the natural frequency of air isolators and realize low or ultra-low frequency air/magnetic composite vibration isolation with large payloads, a magnetically repulsive negative stiffness permanent magnetic array (MRNSPMA) is proposed. Specifically, we utilize cuboidal permanent magnets to form a spatial array that is mechanically repulsive in the horizontal direction and structurally parallel in the vertical direction. The superiority of MRNSPMA in achieving high amplitude negative stiffness is verified. Furthermore, the effects of structural parameters on vibration transmissibility under the base and force excitations are investigated with the introduction of MRNSPMA. The displacement transmissibility, the force transmissibility and the frequency corresponding to the peak transmissibility are significantly reduced, validating the promise of MRNSPMA for improving the isolation performance of cutting-edge scientific experimental systems and facilities.

Vibration isolation systems based on hybrid electromagnets, consisting of electromagnet and permanent magnet, have a potential usage in many industrial areas, such as clean room design, transportation, semiconductor manufacturing, suspension systems, and robotic surgery due to providing mechanical contact free vibration isolation. Using permanent magnets in the electromagnet structure has some crucial advantages, such as a minimized volume and a more compact structure. Furthermore, the essential force for levitation of vibration isolation stage can be generated by only the permanent magnet(s), which means, by using hybrid electromagnets, magnetic levitation can be achieved with considerably low energy consumption against possible vibrations. This property is called zero-power behavior. However, the main problems of magnetic levitation process are as follows: it has highly nonlinear nature even if it can be linearized; it has unstable pole(s), which makes the system vulnerable in terms of stability. In recent years, linear matrix inequality-based design of controllers has received considerable attention and become very popular due to their ability to satisfy multiobjective design requirements. However, an observer-based H2 controller design for a vibration isolation system having hybrid electromagnets has not been considered yet. Therefore, the linear matrix inequality-based controller is employed to minimize the effect of disturbances on the following objectives, such as vibration isolation, zero-power property, and protection of the levitation gap. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown with the numerical simulation studies and compared with classical Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) approach.

A vibration isolation system is presented in this paper which is developed by the combination of multiple vibration isolation modules. Each module is fabricated by connecting a positive stiffness suspension in series with a negative stiffness suspension. Each vibration isolation module can be considered as a self-sufficient single-degree-of-freedom vibration isolation system. 3-DOF vibration isolation system can be developed by combining three modules. As the number of motions to be controlled and the number of actuators are equal, there is no redundancy in actuators in such vibration isolation systems. Experimental results are presented to verify the proposed concept of the development of MDOF vibration isolation system using vibration isolation modules.
