A vibration isolator with a controllable quasi-zero stiffness region based on nonlinear force design

doi:10.1007/s10483-024-3137-8

Abstract

Abstract:

To achieve stability optimization in low-frequency vibration control for precision instruments, this paper presents a quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator with adjustable nonlinear stiffness. Additionally, the stress-magnetism coupling model is established through meticulous theoretical derivation. The controllable QZS interval is constructed via parameter design and magnetic control, effectively segregating the high static stiffness bearing section from the QZS vibration isolation section. Furthermore, a displacement control scheme utilizing a magnetic force is proposed to regulate entry into the QZS working range for the vibration isolation platform. Experimental results demonstrate that the operation within this QZS region reduces the peak-to-peak acceleration signal by approximately 66.7% compared with the operation outside this region, thereby significantly improving the low frequency performance of the QZS vibration isolator.

Key words: low frequency, nonlinear, vibration isolator, quasi-zero stiffness (QZS)
