This paper presents an analysis of a magnetic levitation system for vibration isolation. A non-
dimensional analysis of the magnetic support is considered and it is shown analytically that …

In laboratories and high-tech manufacturing applications, passive vibration isolators are
often used to isolate vibration sensitive equipment from ground-borne vibrations. However …

In this study, a new adaptive–passive dynamic vibration absorber design is discussed. The
proposed design is composed of a string under variable tension with a central mass …

In many engineering applications there is need to reduce the level of vibrations that are
transmitted from a source to a receiver. Amongst several different techniques, the most …

Variable stiffness vibration isolator (VSVI) can be switched between the low stiffness state
and high stiffness state, respectively suitable for spacecraft requirement in cutting off the jitter …

This article considers the design of a compact isolator with quasi-zero stiffness. It has high
vibration control properties at low weight and dimensions. Also the developed vibration …

Vibration disturbance has a consistent negative impact on equipment and processes. The
central theme of this thesis is the investigation of using permanent magnets in the design of …

A highly deformable rod, modelled as the extensible elastica, is connected to a movable
clamp at one end and to a pin sliding along a frictionless curved profile at the other …

Influence of dynamic force of machines on its foundation is analyzed. Decrease of dynamic
force can greatly decrease amount of concrete required for foundation construction …

This study investigates the idea of adding an extra magnetic restoring force to a rocking
block to improve its overall dynamic performance. The proposed concept ensues by …
