Abstract An active vibration isolation system, under development for use in microgravity environment, provides electromagnetic suspension by means of voice coils arranged in pairs to control the translational and rotational movements of the payload, three pairs of which cover the three axes to ensure control of payload movement in all six degrees of freedom. A series of tests performed on this system in microgravity environment created by parabolic flight proved that external disturbances in frequencies above 0.1 Hz were effectively reduced by applying the system. Also, good agreement was obtained between the measured performance and results of numerical simulation.

Abstract The multilayer vibration isolation system has been widely applied to isolate vibration in dynamic devices of ships, high-speed vehicles forging hammer and precise instruments. The paper is based on the coordinate transformation of space general motion for mass blocks (rigid bodies) and Lagrangian equation of multilayer vibration isolation system. It gives a strict mathematical derivation on the differential equation of the motion for the system with six degrees of freedom of relative motion between mass blocks (including base). The equations are different from the same kind of equations in the reference literatures. It can be used in the floating raft of ships in order to isolates vibration and decrease noise, also used in design calculation of the multilayer vibration isolation for dynamic machines and precise instruments on the dry land.

In this study, a novel vibration isolator is presented. The presented isolator possesses the controllable stiffness and can be employed in vibration isolation at a low-resonance frequency. The controllable stiffness of the isolator is obtained by manipulating the negative stiffness-based current in a system with a positive and a negative stiffness in parallel. By using an electromagnetic device consisting of permanent magnetic rings and coils, the designed isolator shows that the stiffness can be manipulated as needed and the operational stiffness range is large in vibration isolation. We experimentally demonstrate that the modeling of controllable stiffness and the approximation of the negative stiffness expressions are effective for controlling the resonance frequency and the transmissibility of the vibration isolation system, enhancing applications such as warship stealth technology, vehicles suspension system, and active vibration isolator.
