Abstract Magneto-/electro-responsive polymers (MERPs) are a class of stimuli-responsive
materials that are actuated when triggered by external magnetic/electric fields. MERPs …

Vibration and sound control is critical to many practical engineering systems in order to
minimise the detrimental effects caused by unavoidable vibrations and noises …

Bistable structures have been widely used for vibrational energy harvesting, the
corresponding potential vibration isolation application has also received attention recently …

A novel spring arrangement based on the X-shaped anti-vibration structure with tunable
contact mechanism (NXSC) is proposed to explore much better low-frequency vibration …

In this paper, an origami-inspired vibration isolator is proposed and numerically investigated
to achieve a quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) property. A truss-spring based stack Miura-ori (TS …

Unlike the tuning of the vibration isolation band through stiffness and geometric parameters
in traditional quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolators (VIs), this study presents a lever …

Vibration isolation is one of the most efficient approaches to protecting host structures from
harmful vibrations, especially in aerospace, mechanical, and architectural engineering, etc …

Quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) systems for passive vibration isolation have been extensively
studied for high static and low dynamic stiffness in practical applications. However, most …

This paper proposes a paradigm shift in the perspective of designing nonlinear oscillators,
ie, the exploitation of nonlinearity to achieve a linear behaviour to good engineering …

Abstract Quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) is beneficial to achieving wider vibration isolation band.
However, existing QZS isolators are usually configured with negative stiffness and linear …
