On-board appendages with mechanical moving parts for satellites produce undesirable micro-jitters during their on-orbit operation. These micro-jitters may seriously affect the image quality from high-resolution observation satellites. A new application form of a passive vibration isolation system was proposed and investigated using a pseudoelastic SMA mesh washer. This system guarantees vibration isolation performance in a launch environment while effectively isolating the micro-disturbances from the on-orbit operation of jitter source. The main feature of the isolator proposed in this study is the use of a ring-type mesh washer as the main axis to support the micro-jitter source. This feature contrasts with conventional applications of the mesh washers where vibration damping is effective only in the thickness direction of the mesh washer. In this study, the basic characteristics of the SMA mesh washer isolator in each axis were measured in static tests. The effectiveness of the design for the new application form of the SMA mesh washer proposed in this study was demonstrated through both launch environment vibration test at qualification level and micro-jitter measurement test which corresponds to on-orbit condition.

This study addresses the application of MR (magnetorheological) isolators to vibration isolation of precision payloads for aerial vehicles. To this end, a precision payload in an aerial vehicle is modeled as a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) lumped parameter model of a sensor assembly. An MR isolator is modeled as a 3-DOF passive spring-damping element and a 3-DOF semi-active yield force due to the yield stress of an MR fluid. Three MR isolators are configured with equal installation angles between the precision payload and the base structure in the aerial vehicle. The governing equations of motion for the MR vibration isolation system of the precision payload for the aerial vehicle are derived and then key parameters of the MR isolators, such as stiffness, damping, and isolator orientation, are determined via a global optimization method. The simulated response of the passive MR vibration isolation system with no magnetic field control input and constant magnetic field control input are presented and analyzed under different excitation conditions. To improve the passive MR vibration isolation performance, a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control algorithm is designed. Finally, simulated responses of the semi-active MR vibration isolation performance using LQG control are evaluated and compared with those of passive (zero or constant field) MR vibration isolation systems.

Taking single degree of freedom vibration isolation system under simple harmonic excitation as an example, and considering the energy, the vibration isolation performance in different conditions was studied theoretically and numerically. The results shows that when the simple harmonic excitation import energy is definite, the vibration isolation performance at the primary harmonic frequency of the nonlinear vibration isolation system is better than that of the linear system, and the vibration isolation performance of the nonlinear vibration isolation system in chaotic vibration state is much better than that in non-chaotic vibration state. For the same isolated object, if can let the vibration isolation system vibrate chaotically, the system will possess the best isolation performance at the primary frequency.

Abstract. Two-degree of freedom system, or two-stage mount are used to improve the high frequency vibration isolation performance with the disadvantage of increasing the mass of the system and adding a second resonance. The vibration isolation property is a well-understood topic for harmonic vibration considering linear and nonlinear elements, but not its shock response. The absolute and relative response of a two-stage mount under shock excitation is investigated in this paper. Analysing the effect of the mass ratio between the two-stage, and its respective viscous damping. The potential advantages and issues behind this system are discussed and compared with the single mount. Experimental validation was performed using two commercial isolator and different masses. Findings suggested that a large secondary mass could reduce the shock response in terms of absolute motion. This effect is only significant for the case of short pulses and when the added mass is at least five times greater than the main mass. Being useful to have light damping only on the secondary stage.

The vibration isolator equipped with a negative stiffness corrector (NSC) excels at vibration isolation, but its stiffness often presents complex nonlinearity which needs to be approximated in calculation. To avoid the harmful effects of approximate stiffness, the NSC formed by the cam-roller mechanism with a quadratic polynomial trajectory (QCRM) is proposed to construct the vibration isolation system. From the inherent geometrical relationship in the structure, the generation mechanism of high-static-low-dynamic stiffness is analyzed, and the quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) condition of the system is derived. Based on the dynamic model of the QZS vibration isolator, the functions of response characteristics are solved by the harmonic balance method. Then, the absolute displacement transmissibility with different parameter values, and the vibration isolation performance under sinusoidal, multi-frequency wave, and random excitations are discussed. The simulated results show that the stiffness expression of the proposed QZS vibration isolator is directly a quadratic function, which removes the calculation error caused by approximate stiffness at large displacement and broadens the available isolation displacement range. Introducing the QCRM-NSC can significantly suppress the low-frequency vibration and resonance response without changing the load-bearing capacity of the vibration isolator. Under various excitations, the vibration isolation performance of the QZS vibration isolator all outperforms the linear counterpart.

The vibration isolation system using a pair of oblique springs or a spring-rod mechanism as a negative stiffness mechanism exhibits a high-static low-dynamic stiffness characteristic and a nonlinear jump phenomenon when the system damping is light and the excitation amplitude is large. It is possible to remove the jump via adjusting the end trajectories of the above springs or rods. To realize this idea, the article presents a vibration isolation system with a cam–roller–spring–rod mechanism and gives the detailed numerical and experimental studies on the effects of the above mechanism on the vibration isolation performance. The comparative studies demonstrate that the vibration isolation system proposed works well and outperforms some other vibration isolation systems.

The vibrations generated by a three-phase power transformer reduce the comfort of residents and the service life of surrounding equipment. To resolve this tough issue, a quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolator for the transformer is proposed. This paper is devoted to developing a QZS isolator in a simple way for engineering practices. The vertical springs are used to support the heavy weight of the transformer, while the oblique springs are employed to fulfill negative stiffness to neutralize the positive stiffness of the vertical spring. Hence, a combination of the vertical and oblique spring can yield high static but low dynamic stiffness, and the vibration isolation efficiency can be improved substantially. The dynamic analysis for the QZS vibration isolation system is conducted by the harmonic balance method, and the vibration isolation performance is estimated. Finally, the prototype of the QZS isolator is manufactured, and then the vibration isolation performance is tested comparing with the linear isolator under real power loading conditions. The experimental results show that the QZS isolator prominently outperforms the existing linear isolator. This is the first time to devise a QZS isolator for three-phase power transformers with heavy payloads in engineering practices.

The environment in space provides favorable conditions for space missions. However, low frequency vibration poses a great challenge to high sensitivity equipment, resulting in performance degradation of sensitive systems. Due to the ever-increasing requirements to protect sensitive payloads, there is a pressing need for micro-vibration suppression. This paper deals with the modeling and control of a maglev vibration isolation system. A high-precision nonlinear dynamic model with six degrees of freedom was derived, which contains the mathematical model of Lorentz actuators and umbilical cables. Regarding the system performance, a double closed-loop control strategy was proposed, and a sliding mode control algorithm was adopted to improve the vibration isolation performance. A simulation program of the system was developed in a MATLAB environment. A vibration isolation performance in the frequency range of 0.01–100 Hz and a tracking performance below 0.01 Hz were obtained. In order to verify the nonlinear dynamic model and the isolation performance, a principle prototype of the maglev isolation system equipped with accelerometers and position sensors was developed for the experiments. By comparing the simulation results and the experiment results, the nonlinear dynamic model of the maglev vibration isolation system was verified and the control strategy of the system was proved to be highly effective.

Passive vibration isolation is always preferable in many engineering practices. To this aim, an innovative, compact, and passive vibration isolation mount is studied in this paper. The novel mount is adjustable to different payloads due to a special oblique and tunable stiffness mechanism, and of high vibration isolation performance with a wider quasi-zero-stiffness range due to the deliberate employment of negative stiffness of the X-shaped structure. The X-shaped structure has been well studied recently due to its excellent nonlinear stiffness and damping properties. In this study, by using of the negative stiffness property within the X-shaped structure, the X-shaped mount (X-mount) can have an obviously larger vibration displacement range which maintains the quasi-zero-stiffness property. A special oblique spring is thus introduced such that the overall equivalent stiffness can be much easily adjusted. Systematic parametric study is conducted to reveal the critical design parameters and their relationship with vibration isolation performance. A prototype and experimental validations are implemented to validate the theoretical results. It is believed that the X-mount would provide an innovative technical upgrade to many existing vibration isolation mounts in various engineering practices and it could also be the first prototyped mount which can offer adjustable quasi-zero stiffness conveniently.
