Abstract: Single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mechanical oscillators have been the most common type of generators used to harvest energy from mechanical vibrations. When the excitation is harmonic, optimal performance is achieved when ...

Abstract: Nonlinear isolators with highstaticlowdynamicstiffness have received considerable attention in the recent literature due to their performance benefits compared to linear vibration isolators. A quasizerostiffness (QZS) ...

Abstract: In this paper, the behavior of a single degreeoffreedom (SDOF) passive vibration isolation system with geometrically nonlinear damping is investigated, and its displacement and force transmissibilities are compared with ...
