Analysis of the effects of nonlinear viscous damping on vibration isolator

In this paper, vibration isolator of single degree of freedom systems having a nonlinear viscous damping is studied under force excitation. Stability of the steady state periodic response has been discussed. The influence of damping coefficients on the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility is investigated. The relationship between amplitude and frequency is derived by using the averaging method. Results reveal that the performance of the nonlinear isolator has some beneficial effects compared with linear isolator in a certain range. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.
