A spaceborne cryogenic cooler induces undesirable microvibration disturbances during its on-orbit operation, which is one of the main sources that degrades the image quality of submeter-level high-resolution observation satellites. Several types of vibration isolation systems based on passive approaches have been developed for reducing the microvibration of the cooler. A coil-spring-type passive vibration isolation system developed in a previous study has shown excellent performance in both launch vibration and on-orbit microvibration isolation. To improve the capability of the conventional cooler isolator, including the position sensitivity and launch vibration reduction, we propose a new version of a dual coil-spring-type passive vibration isolator system. The effectiveness of the newly proposed design was validated through a microjitter measurement test, position sensitivity test, and qualification-level launch vibration test of the isolator.

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.

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.

The quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolation system has witnessed significant development due to the pressing demands for low frequency and ultra-low frequency vibration isolation. In this study, the isolation theory and the characteristic of the quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolation system are illustrated. Based on its implementation mechanics, a comprehensive assessment of recent advances of the quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolation system is presented. The future research directions are finally prospected.

At the present, the improvement of vibration isolation systems for equipment, machines and units remains an urgent task. The ways to solve this problem are based on the optimization of existing structures, the development and application of new vibration-insulating elements as well as the improvement of design methods. In particular, to ensure the reliable functioning of agricultural machines, units, working elements and other mechanization means for the technological processes of agricultural production one of the perspective areas is the use of hydraulic vibra-tion mounts in suspension systems for units. This type of mounts is used to mount engines, cabins of agricultural vehicles, and power units. This paper discusses the simu-lation of the dynamic behavior of a power unit attached to a fixed base by the hydraulic mounts. It is proposed to use approximating functions modelling real stiffness character-istics of the mounts. A comparative analysis with a similar design using rubber-metal mounts as vibration-insulating elements is presented.

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.

The article deals with probability analysis for a vibration isolation system of sensitive equipment. Vibration isolation system is subjected to external base vibrations due to ambient oscillations (background noise). Considering Gauss distribution for ambient vibrations, we estimate the probability when the relative displacement of isolated mass will still be lower than the vibration criteria. The problem is solved in three-dimensional space, evolved by the system parameters damping and natural frequency. According to this probability distribution, the chance of exceeding vibration criteria for a vibration isolation system is evaluated and different vibration isolation systems are compared.

Vibration isolation devices are used to attach various systems to their base structure to reduce the transmission of vibration from and/or to the base structure. Vibration isolation devices allow relative motion between the isolated system and the base platform. This relative motion is critical to the effective operation of vibration isolation devices and is used to absorb or divert vibration energy using spring and viscous damping or dry friction elements. In general, larger the allowed relative motion, more effective will be the performance of the isolation system. In certain applications, the introduced relative motion by the vibration isolation device introduces unavoidable and unwanted motion of the isolated system and can significantly degrade its performance, particularly in terms of positioning precision, or limit the range of allowable relative motion, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the isolation system. In this paper, a novel method is presented that uses appropriate linkage mechanisms to constrain relative motions that are introduced by the vibration isolation system that are not necessary for the proper operation of the vibration isolation system but their presence would degrade the performance of the entire system. As an example, a novel double-parallelogram based motion constraining mechanism is presented, which is used to constrain rotational (rocking) motion of an isolation system without hindering its relative translational motion used for vibration isolation. The design of a prototype of such a linkage mechanism used to isolate payloads from launch vehicles during the launch and the results of its successful testing are presented. Other applications of the present method are discussed.

In this study, the theoretical and experimental investigations of the dynamics of complex passive low-frequency vibration systems are described. It is shown that a complex system consisting of a vibrating platform, an optical table and a vibration isolation system of quasi-zero stiffness loaded by a certain mass may isolate low-frequency vibrations in a narrow frequency range only. In another case, the system does not isolate vibrations; it even operates as an amplifier. The frequencies that ensure the top efficiency of the vibration damping system of quasi-zero stiffness were established.
