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 ...

Abstract: Hot stamping of quenchenable ultra high strength steels currently represents a promising forming technology for the manufacturing of safety and crash relevant parts. For some applications, such as Bpillars which may undergo ...
