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.

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 paper discusses the efficiency of a vibration isolation system made of the optical table and two negative-stiffness tables and considers excitation referring to harmonic and nonharmonic methods in the frequency range of 0,2–110 Hz. The article reviews the types and sources of vibrations and types of vibration isolation systems, including those of negative-stiffness. The paper also presents the methodology of experimental tests and proposes research on vibration transmissibility. A composite system consisting of two vibration isolation table having negative stiffness and an air table has been tested.

A novel design of a two-stage nonlinear vibration isolation system, with each stage having a high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS), is studied experimentally in this paper. The positive stiffness in each stage is realized by a metallic plate, and the corresponding negative stiffness is realized by a bistable carbon fiber–metal (CF) composite plate. An analytical model is developed as an aid to design a bistable composite plate with the required negative stiffness, and a static test of the plate is conducted to measure the actual stiffness of the plate. Dynamic tests of the two-stage isolator are carried out to determine the effectiveness of the isolator. Two tests are conducted, one with the bistable composite plates removed so that the isolator behaves as a linear device and one with the bistable composite plates fitted. An improvement in the isolator transmissibility of about 13 dB at frequencies greater than about 100 Hz is achieved when the bistable composite plates are added.
