A New Approach to Achieve Variable Negative Stiffness by Using an Electromagnetic Asymmetric Tooth Structure

Traditional passive nonlinear isolators have been paid much attention in recent literatures due to their excellent performance compared to linear vibration isolators. However, they are incapable of dealing with varying conditions such as changing excitation frequency due to the nonadjustable negativ...

description Traditional passive nonlinear isolators have been paid much attention in recent literatures due to their excellent performance compared to linear vibration isolators. However, they are incapable of dealing with varying conditions such as changing excitation frequency due to the nonadjustable negative stiffness. To solve this drawback, a new approach to achieve variable negative stiffness is proposed in this paper. The negative stiffness is realized by an electromagnetic asymmetric magnetic tooth structure and can be changed by adjusting the magnitude of the input direct current. Analytical model of the electromagnetic force is built and simulations of magnetic field are conducted to validate the negative stiffness. Then the EATS is applied to vibration isolation and an electromagnetic vibration isolator is designed. Finally, a series of tests are conducted to measure the negative stiffness experimentally and confirm the effect of the EATS in vibration isolation.
