Inerter, which is defined as a two-terminal mechanical element, has the characteristic that the force generated at its two terminals is proportional to the relative acceleration between its two ends. Here, the inerter is used in the vibration isolation system; eight kinds of one-stage inerter-based vibration isolators are presented in this paper. Dynamic equations of eight kinds of one-stage inerter-based vibration isolators are established, the natural frequency is considered, and the dynamic response and transmissibility are obtained using the time domain analysis method or the Laplace-transformed method. Four performance indexes are defined to evaluate their isolation performance and compared with the linear vibration isolator (LVI). The best structural parameters of these one-stage inerter-based vibration isolators are determined using the H-infinity optimization method based on the fixed-point theory, which aims to minimize the maximum transmissibility. The results show that compared with the LVI, some kinds of one-stage inerterbased vibration isolators can offer a better isolation performance according to the four performance indexes. Furthermore, the best vibration isolator among these vibration isolators is determined by the four performance indexes.
