摘要
In view of the excellent performance of a single quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) device in vibration attenuation, this paper presents a study on a vibration isolation floating raft system constructed with a double-layer QZS mechanism. A QZS device is a typical nonlinear isolator, hence the floating raft system is a coupled highly nonlinear isolation system. To understand the behaviors and its performance in vibration attenuation, an analytical approach is developed to describe the characteristics including the mathematical relationship between amplitude-frequency, force transmissibility, and the effects of the mass ratio and damping ratios on attenuation performance. The outcomes show that the two-degree-of-freedom QZS-QZS system is superior for vibration isolation when compared to the traditional linear system and the two other types of QZS systems. The effective vibration isolation frequency region of the QZS-QZS system is expanded to the low-frequency region by 72%. The QZS system is sensitive to the damping ratio, which decreases the resonance peak significantly. The mass ratio is a crucial design parameter in low-frequency vibration isolation design.
