Abstract The multilayer vibration isolation system has been widely applied to isolate vibration in dynamic devices of ships, high-speed vehicles forging hammer and precise instruments. The paper is based on the coordinate transformation of space general motion for mass blocks (rigid bodies) and Lagrangian equation of multilayer vibration isolation system. It gives a strict mathematical derivation on the differential equation of the motion for the system with six degrees of freedom of relative motion between mass blocks (including base). The equations are different from the same kind of equations in the reference literatures. It can be used in the floating raft of ships in order to isolates vibration and decrease noise, also used in design calculation of the multilayer vibration isolation for dynamic machines and precise instruments on the dry land.

This paper presents a novel magnetically levitated (maglev) stage with nanoscale positioning capability in all six degrees of freedom (DOFs). The key aspect of this device is that its single moving part has no mechanical contact with its stationary base, which leads to no mechanical friction and stiction, and no wear particle generation. We present herein the mechanical design, instrumentation, and test results of this maglev stage. Currently it shows position resolution of 4 nm, position noise of 2 nm rms, hundreds-of-micrometer translational travel range, a-few-milliradian rotational travel range, and power consumption less than a fraction of a Watt per axis. This maglev stage can be used in numerous applications such as manufacture of nanoscale structures, assembly and packaging on micro-size parts, vibration isolation for delicate instrumentation, and telepresence microsurgery.

Abstract An active vibration isolation system, under development for use in microgravity environment, provides electromagnetic suspension by means of voice coils arranged in pairs to control the translational and rotational movements of the payload, three pairs of which cover the three axes to ensure control of payload movement in all six degrees of freedom. A series of tests performed on this system in microgravity environment created by parabolic flight proved that external disturbances in frequencies above 0.1 Hz were effectively reduced by applying the system. Also, good agreement was obtained between the measured performance and results of numerical simulation.

A platform supported by a hexapod of quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) struts is proposed to provide a solution for low-frequency vibration isolation in six degrees-of-freedom (6DOFs). The QZS strut is developed by combining a pair of mutually repelling permanent magnets in parallel connection with a coil spring. Dynamic analysis of the 6DOFs QZS platform is carried out to obtain dynamic responses by using the harmonic balance method, and the vibration isolation performance in each DOF is evaluated in terms of force/moment transmissibility, which indicates that the QZS platform perform a good function of low-frequency vibration isolation within broad bandwidth, and has notable advantages over its linear counterpart in all 6DOFs.

Micro-vibration has been a dominant factor impairing the performance of scientific experiments which are expected to be deployed in a micro-gravity environment such as a space laboratory. The micro-vibration has serious impact on the scientific experiments requiring a quasi-static environment. Therefore, we proposed a maglev vibration isolation platform operating in six degrees of freedom (DOF) to fulfill the environmental requirements. In view of the noncontact and large stroke requirement for micro-vibration isolation, an optimization method was utilized to design the actuator. Mathematical models of the actuator's remarkable nonlinearity were established, so that its output can be compensated according to a floater's varying position and a system's performance may be satisfied. Furthermore, aiming to adapt to an energy-limited environment such as space laboratory, an optimum allocation scheme was put forward, considering that the actuator's nonlinearity, accuracy, and minimum energy-consumption can be obtained simultaneously. In view of operating in 6-DOF, methods for nonlinear compensation and system decoupling were discussed, and the necessary controller was also presented. Simulation and experiments validate the system's performance. With a movement range of 10 × 10 × 8 mm and rotations of 200 mrad, the decay ratio of −40 dB/Dec between 1 and 10 Hz was obtained under close-loop control.

Micro-vibrations generated by rotating machinery could influence the working performance of the precise instruments equipped in industrial facilities, aircraft, ships, etc. Isolation systems are thus essential for preventing the high-sensitive instruments from being disturbed. In this work, a 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) micro-vibration isolation platform is proposed based on the quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolator. The structure of the isolation platform is a conventional Stewart mechanism equipped with the QZS isolators in each leg. To analyze the stiffness of the leg, the static analysis is carried out. Afterwards, the stiffness of the platform in six directions are also discussed. Moreover, the dynamical equations of the isolation platform are formulated by the Lagrange Equation. Finally, the dynamic response of the proposed model is investigated and compared with the linear case whose stiffness of the leg is linear. The results show that the newly designed QZS platform in this work has a good isolation performance, which can attenuate the external vibrations significantly within a broad frequency band. Parametric analysis shows that the structure parameters, damping and excitation amplitude have a great influence on the isolation performance of the QZS platform. Delightfully, the result of indicates that, (a) the newly designed QZS platform is able to provide an excellent isolation performance in all the six DOFs, which advances the dynamic study of multi-dimensional QZS vibration isolation; (b) The multi-dimensional vibration isolation platform is innovatively designed using geometric nonlinear technology, there is no influence of the magnetic sources to the precision instruments when compared with the previous designs; (c) the regulation mechanism of the structure parameters of the QZS isolation platform on the dynamic transmission characteristics of the system is revealed, which indicates that the platform is particularly suitable for micro-vibration isolation whose vibration magnitude and frequency are quite low.

Slip-sinkage is one of the main factors influencing the driving safety of planetary rover in soft terrain. In the environment of scarce features, based on the stereo visual sensors, the visual odometry algorithm is firstly developed to calculate the position changes of planetary rover with six degrees of freedom, which combine with the wheel speed sensor achieve the estimation of wheel slip ratios. Then, on the basis of mechanical analysis of soft terrain, choosing the slip ratio as the state variable, the coordinated driving control algorithm is designed. Simulation and experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
