Abstract
Quasi-zero stiffness isolators are a promising technology to reduce vibration transmission over a large frequency range while maintaining passive operation and low cost. Many different types of QZS isolators have been demonstrated utilizing a variety of mechanical, pneumatic, and magnetic
components. While some of these types have their own unique challenges, other challenges are more general. Two of these challenges are mass sensitivity and hysteresis in the load-deflection curve caused by snap-through buckling, friction, or structural damping. This work investigates the impact
of force-deflection hysteresis on isolation performance through experimental techniques. Results show that increasing hysteresis reduces the mass sensitivity but worsens the isolation performance at low frequencies. A tradeoff must be made between these two aspects but can be overcome by shifting
the QZS region to difference forces. A simple method to achieve this adaptability exists for certain types of QZS structures, therefore enabling a variety of practical applications within a certain design window.

期刊介绍:
Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
