Description
Summary:The high-static-low-dynamic stiffness vibration isolator has great advantages in vibration isolation because it can decrease the natural frequency of the system while keeping the load capability, but it is usually difficult to implement because of its complex structures and installation space constraints. A high-static-low-dynamic stiffness vibration isolator composed of a buckling circular plate and a traditional linear spring is proposed in this paper. The buckling circular plate works as the negative stiffness corrector paralleled with the linear spring, which can be integrated into the sleeve. If the load is chosen properly, the static equilibrium point will be at the initial quasi-zero stiffness point. However, any changes of the load will lead the equilibrium point deviating from the initial equilibrium point. The nonlinear mathematical model of high-static-low-dynamic stiffness vibration isolator considering load imperfection is developed and its force transmissibility is analyzed with the harmonic balance method and homotopy perturbation method. The influence rule of the system parameters on it is analyzed and the corresponding results show that the force transmissibility will exhibit complicated characteristics, depending on the load imperfection, damper, and excitation force.
