TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive assessment of recent developments of nonlinear isolators in the absence of active control means is presented, which highlights resolved and unresolved problems and recommendations for future research directions.
885 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a vibration isolator consisting of a vertical linear spring and two nonlinear pre-stressed oblique springs is considered, and the softening parameter leading to quasi-zero dynamic stiffness at the equilibrium position is obtained as a function of the initial geometry, pre-stress and the stiffness of the springs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dynamic behavior of a nonlinear isolator supporting a lumped mass by modelling the dynamic system as a single-degree-of-freedom system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the force transmissibility of a quasi-zero-stiffness isolator, which consists of a vertical spring and two oblique springs that are either linear, linear with pre-stress or softening nonlinear with prestress.
