The effective solution to avoid machinery damage caused by resonance has been perplexing the field of engineering as a core research direction since the resonance phenomenon was discovered by Euler in 1750. Numerous attempts have been performed to reduce the influence of resonance since the earlier of last century, by introducing a nonlinear structure or a closed-loop control system. However, the existed methodologies cannot eliminate resonance completely even extra problems were introduced inevitably, which means the technical choke-point of resonance-free remains unsolved. Here we propose a designable archetype model, which establishes a mapping between the mechanical properties and its structure. A general inverse method for structure construction is proposed based upon the required property for the system with quasi-zero stiffness of any designed finite order and the zero-stiffness properties. It is shown that an ellipse trajectory tracking of the designed model is the sufficient and necessary condition to satisfy the zero-stiffness property. Theoretical analysis shows that no resonant response happens in a zero-stiffness system to the full-band frequency excitation, or equivalently, the system can completely isolate the energy transfer between the load and environment, when the damping ratio approaches zero. Finally, an experimental rig for the prototype structure is built up according to the sufficient and necessary condition of the zero-stiffness system, for which the special dynamic behaviours are verified through experiments of frequency-sweep and random-vibration as well. Experimental results show that the prototype of the initial vibration isolation frequency of zero-stiffness system is much lower than 0.37 Hz, and the vibration attenuation of the proposed model is about 16.86 dB, 45.63 dB, and 112.37 dB at frequencies of 0.37 Hz, 1 Hz, and 10 Hz, respectively. The distinguished geometric structure of the zero-stiffness system leads to a new inspiration for the design of resonance-free in metamaterial unit and the inverse method can even adapt the design for a more targeted applications based on an arbitrary complex dynamic requirement.

School of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering, Changsha University of Science and Technology, Changsha 410114, China.

In practical engineering applications, the vibration is often generated in various directions and can be harmful to the engineering equipment. Thus, it is necessary to develop vibration isolators that can reduce vibration in multiple directions. In this paper, we propose a planar two-dimensional vibration isolator based on compliant mechanisms.

This paper aims to study the maglev force and vibration attenuation characteristics of quasi-zero stiffness cruciform maglev isolators (CMIs). The maglev force and stiffness of CMIs were analytically computed based on equivalent charge theory, and the transfer function of the system was conducted. The effects of magnet geometry parameters and air gap on the maglev force, stiffness, and vibration transmission characteristics of the CMI system were revealed through parametric analyses.

Large floating raft vibration isolation systems (FRVISs) based on high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) technology offer excellent low frequency vibration isolation performance with broad application prospects. However, the design process for these complex high-dimensional coupled nonlinear systems remains poorly developed, particularly when applied for ocean-going vessels that experience rolling and pitching motions. The present work addresses this issue by establishing a six-degree-of-freedom HSLDS vibration isolation model for FRVISs composed of eight isolators, and the model is applied to fully analyze the swing stability and multidimensional vibration isolation performance of these systems.

Quasi-Zero Stiffness Vibration Sensing and Energy Harvesting Integration Based on Buckled Piezoelectric Euler Beam.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2023

Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacture Technology for Automobile Parts, Chongqing University of Technology, Ministry of Education, Chongqing 400054, China.

This paper presents a novel quasi-zero stiffness vibration sensing and energy harvesting integration system for absolute displacement measurements based on a buckled piezoelectric Euler beam (BPEB) with quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) characteristics. On one hand, BPEB provides negative stiffness to the system, thus creating a vibration-free point within the system and transforming the absolute displacement measurement problem into a relative motion sensing problem. On the other hand, during the measurement process, the BPEB collects the vibration energy from the system, which can provide electrical energy for low-power relative motion sensing devices and remarkably suppress the frequency range of the jump phenomenon, thereby further expanding the frequency domain measurement range of the sensing system.
