Design and evaluation of a quasi-zero-stiffness isolator using flexibly supported negative stiffness mechanism

In traditional quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolation system, the negative stiffness part is usually fixed rigidly, lacking of effective amplifying mechanism. For reaching a quasi-zero state, the value of negative stiffness need to be very large to offset the positive stiffness of the structure. This...
