The quasi-zero-stiffness system (QZS) is a nonlinear vibration isolation system, when the excitation frequency is in the multi-solution domain, the system may malfunctions in vibration attenuation. To solve this problem, the damping control method is introduced in this paper. The main idea is that the response on the resonance branch with large amplitude can switches to the non-resonance branch with small amplitude by controlling system damping, and it can stay on the non-resonance branch in the next process, which makes vibration isolation is also available in this interval. During this process, the Van den Pol plane is used to determine the time of which damping control can be withdrawn.

A nonlinear spring-mass model is established to study the dynamic characteristics of nonlinear vibration isolator. By use of ADAMS software, the influence of stiffness, foundation displacement excitation and frequency of external excitation on the nonlinear vibration isolation systems are analyzed. Results indicate that the linear vibration system needs 4s to achieve stability, but the nonlinear vibration system only needs 0.1s. The response value increases with the increase of excitation frequency, the response pick value increases by 61.58% and 102.35% and each corresponding stable value increases by 159.35% and 309.87%.

The ecological structures of some organisms that could resist environmental vibration naturally (such as dragonfly, woodpecker and legs of cursorial animals) uncovered by biologists inspire people a new approach to overcome the above problem. In this paper, a new shock isolation system consisting of a pedestal, a rubber layer, an air spring and a shearing viscoelastic damper is designed, fabricated, and characterized to avoid the performance deterioration and physical damage of mechanical manufacturing devices from external mechanical excitations. The nonlinear dynamics model of the platform is developed and the dynamic characteristics are analyzed using numerical analysis. The displacement and velocity response are obtained. The results demonstrate that the stiffness and damping characteristic of the platform change with excitation frequency. The vibration isolation effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.

Vibration is an environmental factor with hazardous effects on the instruments' precision, structural stability, and service life in engineering fields. Many kinds of energy dissipation devices have been invented to reduce the dynamic responses of structures and instruments due to environmental excitations. In this paper, a new kind of vibration isolation and suppression device with high damping performance, fine deformation recoverability, and bearing capacity for platform structures is developed, which is designed by considering the combination of the energy dissipation mechanisms of viscoelastic material, viscous fluid, and air spring. A series of dynamic properties tests on the device are carried out under different excitation frequencies and displacement amplitudes, and a mathematical model considering the coupling effects of energy dissipation of viscoelastic material, viscous liquid, and air spring is proposed. The research results indicate that the vibration isolation and suppression device has high damping capacity, and the proposed mathematical model can well describe the mechanical properties affected by excitation frequency and displacement amplitude.

A mathematical model of a single degree of freedom air spring vibration isolation system is established. The model analyzes the influence of structural damping in the air spring vibration isolation system based on the traditional model. This paper establishes the relationship between the working pressure p, the volume ratio of n and system vibration transmissibility T under forced vibration. The experimental results are verified on different working pressure. The results showed that working pressure p has little effect on the resonant frequency of the system and the system vibration transmissibility. The smaller the ratio n, the lower the resonant frequency of the system and the system vibration transmissibility. The environmental excitation frequency range must be taken into account in designing.

The traditional passive vibration isolation system can reduce the vibration transmission greatly while the excitation frequency is times higher than its natural frequency. As the external excitation approach its natural frequency, vibration isolator system is invalid. In this paper, a new variable stiffness vibration isolator was designed to solve the low-frequency resonance problem of the traditional isolator by combining toothed electromagnetic spring with passive isolator. Theoretical analysis and experimental results illustrate that this isolator met the design requirements and obtained the no resonance operating characteristic at the low frequency.

Traditional passive nonlinear isolators have been paid much attention in recent literatures due to their excellent performance compared to linear vibration isolators. However, they are incapable of dealing with varying conditions such as changing excitation frequency due to the nonadjustable negative stiffness. To solve this drawback, a new approach to achieve variable negative stiffness is proposed in this paper. The negative stiffness is realized by an electromagnetic asymmetric magnetic tooth structure and can be changed by adjusting the magnitude of the input direct current. Analytical model of the electromagnetic force is built and simulations of magnetic field are conducted to validate the negative stiffness. Then the EATS is applied to vibration isolation and an electromagnetic vibration isolator is designed. Finally, a series of tests are conducted to measure the negative stiffness experimentally and confirm the effect of the EATS in vibration isolation.

In many engineering systems there is a common requirement to isolate the supporting foundation from low frequency periodic machinery vibration sources. In such cases the vibration is mainly transmitted at the fundamental excitation frequency and its multiple harmonics. It is well known that passive approaches have poor performance at low frequencies and for this reason a number of active control technologies have been developed. For discrete frequencies disturbance rejection Harmonic Control (HC) techniques provide excellent performance. In the general case of variable speed engines or motors, the disturbance frequency changes with time, following the rotational speed of the engine or motor. For such applications, an important requirement for the control system is to converge to the optimal solution as rapidly as possible for all variations without altering the system's stability. For a variety of applications this may be difficult to achieve, especially when the disturbance frequency is close to a resonance peak and a small value of convergence gain is usually preferred to ensure closed-loop stability. This can lead to poor vibration isolation performance and long convergence times. In this paper, the performance of two recently developed HC algorithms are compared (in terms of both closed-loop stability and speed of convergence) in a vibration control application and for the case when the disturbance frequency is close to a resonant frequency. In earlier work it has been shown that both frequency domain HC algorithms can be represented by Linear Time Invariant (LTI) feedback compensators each designed to operate at the disturbance frequency. As a result, the convergence and stability analysis can be performed using the LTI representations with any suitable method from the LTI framework. For the example mentioned above, the speed of convergence provided by each algorithm is compared by determining the locations of the dominant closed-loop poles and stability analysis is performed using the open-loop frequency responses and the Nyquist criterion. The theoretical findings are validated through simulations and experimental analysis.

This paper reports a type of metamaterial plate enabling in-plane ultra-wide vibration isolation in engineering equipment development. It is composed of periodic hexagonal lattice structures. The acoustic black hole (ABH) structures are embedded in each cell wall of the conventional hexagonal lattice, which results in the reduction of local stiffness in the cell wall and the local mass in the hexagonal corner. The lattice can be simplified as the form of lumped masses vibrating on springs, and two types of eigenstates can be obtained: the rotational eigenstates and the transverse eigenstates. The geometric nonlinearity of the ABH structure leads to unevenly distributed vibration modes, resulting in the ultra-wide bandgap. Experimental results prove the effective attenuation capacity. Compared with the traditional hexagonal lattice, the proposed design provides greater advantages in practical application.

There is a requirement to isolate machinery from their surroundings to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration. Reducing the input disturbance of a system can reduce vibration levels, but this is not always a feasible option. One of the simplest ways to overcome these problems is to retrofit a vibration attenuation device. The method used for vibration isolation discussed in this paper is semi-active control and involves using tunable resonators at the mounting positions. These resonators operate by continually adjusting their characteristics such that a large force is generated, achieving vibration attenuation over a range of varying operating conditions. In this paper, the resonators are tuned such that the natural frequency of the resonator is equal to the excitation frequency. Open-loop control is used to roughly tune the resonator, with a precise algorithm changing the characteristics of the resonator such that the host structure and resonator are in quadrature. Using multiple resonators increases the complexity of the system as interaction is possible between the resonators. The interaction between well-coupled resonators is modelled and examined experimentally. A simple control algorithm is developed and implemented which demonstrates that the resonators can be tuned independently, irrespective of the dynamic coupling between them.
