Abstract

Suppressing low-frequency vibrations while maintaining load-bearing capacity has long been challenging for linear spring-damper systems. To address this, quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) structures have been developed, offering high static and low dynamic stiffness. However, the conventional design of QZS structures, which combines negative and positive stiffness elements, often lacks clear theoretical guidance for more advanced designs. Additionally, most QZS systems are optimized for a single target load, limiting their practical applicability in scenarios that require vibration isolation across a broad range of loads. This work introduces a novel approach to designing 3D QZS structures by leveraging the kinematic instability of origami-inspired metamaterials. A modular assembly method is also proposed, enabling the construction of QZS vibration isolation systems that can be tailored to various loading ranges. The integration of kinematic instability into the design of QZS metamaterials enhances the robustness of the vibration isolators, while the modularity allows for customizable load-bearing capabilities. The proposed designs are validated through analytical models and experimental tests in both static and dynamic conditions, offering a comprehensive framework for developing advanced QZS metamaterials.
