Summary: This paper introduces a passive quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolator using a cam mechanism, which can generate ideal simplest restoring force directly and eliminate approximation errors. Experimental results confirm the proposed design principle and show the advantages of the QZS isolator in vibration tests, with wider isolation frequency bandwidth and weaker resonance effect compared to linear counterparts. The specific isolation efficiency and the effect of excitation amplitudes on vibration attenuation performance are comprehensively compared.

Summary: This paper examines the dynamic phenomenon of a pneumatic QZS isolator with mistuned mass and analyzes the amplitude-frequency relationship and force transmissibility. The results show that, in the case of a large mass mistuning, the system exhibits possible response periods and chaos phenomena. Mass detuning leads to a more complex nonlinear response of the QZS isolator, and the dynamic response becomes more sensitive to changes in parameters such as external excitation frequency, amplitude, and damping ratio. These findings are helpful for improving the structure of the pneumatic QZS vibration isolator and determining the applicable working frequency.

Summary: This study presents a two degree-of-freedom quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator based on the anti-resonance characteristics of a multi-degree-of-freedom system. Nonlinear inclined springs (NIS) are used to achieve the nonlinear stiffness, with both linear and cubic stiffness terms. The effects of various mechanical and structural parameters on the stiffness characteristics are analyzed, and the dynamic response and force transmissibility are numerically discussed. The results show that the system can achieve smaller stiffness and wider low-stiffness range near equilibrium position by using smaller structural parameters and nonlinear inclined springs with softening stiffness.

Summary: Compared with the linear isolation system, the quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) nonlinear isolation system has better low-frequency vibration isolation performance due to its high static stiffness and low dynamic stiffness. To optimize the isolation performance, a new isolation device based on the parallel connection of oblique springs and vertical springs was proposed, which can expand the interval of quasi-zero-stiffness through parameter optimization design. The vibration isolation performance of the QZS system was analyzed and compared with the linear system through a shaking table test.

Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear transverse vibration of a beam with one end free and the other end simply supported with a torsion spring. A torsional quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolator is employed at the fixed end of the beam for vibration isolation. Differential equation of motion and natural characteristics of the beam are obtained using Hamilton's principle. The quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolation system shows superior performance compared to the linear torsion spring, reducing the first resonant frequency and providing wide effective isolation range at low frequency.

Summary: Various quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolators have been successfully applied in low-frequency vibration isolation in recent years. However, the current approach is limited to compensating the negative stiffness of bistable structures using linear springs. This study proposes a nonlinear compensation method and verifies its effectiveness through a confirmatory system.

Summary: In this study, based on the principle of dynamic vibration absorber (DVA), a frequency adjustable DVA is coupled with a single degree-of-freedom (DOF) quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of the coupled system. The results show that by coupling the DVA with the single-DOF QZS system, the vibration isolation performance of the system can be improved, the amplitude of the main system can be reduced, and the effective vibration reduction frequency band can be expanded.
