Dynamic characteristics of negative stiffness structure with high static and low dynamic stiffness

open access: yesFrontiers in Mechanical Engineering
Negative stiffness (NS) structures have obvious advantages in attenuating low-frequency vibration. Although most existing NS structures exhibit good damping effects, their stability is poor, limiting their application in complex mechanical systems.

A negative stiffness inertial nonlinear energy sink

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract In this paper, a novel negative stiffness inertial nonlinear energy sink (NSI-NES) is proposed. The main structure is simulated as a single-degree-of-freedom linear oscillator. Newton's second law is applied to derive the kinematic equations of the coupled system.

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

Hybrid Auxetic Architectures: Integrating Curvature‐Driven Design for Enhanced Mechanical Tunability and Structural Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Curvature‐tuned auxetic lattices are designed, fabricated, and mechanically characterized to reveal how geometric curvature governs stretchability, stress redistribution, and Poisson's ratio evolution. Photoelastic experiments visualize stress pathways, while hyperelastic simulations quantify deformation mechanics.

Vibration Isolation System Using Negative Stiffness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Active vibration isolation systems using negative stiffness were presented. Connecting a negative-stiffness suspension with a normal spring in series can generate infinite stiffness against disturbances acting on the isolation table. This property is maintained even if a suspension to support the weight of the isolation table is introduced in parallel ...

Experimental investigation of lateral forces induced by flow through model labyrinth glands [PDF]

open access: yes
The lateral forces induced by flow through model labyrinth glands were investigated. Circumferential pressure distributions, lateral forces and stiffness coefficients data obtained are discussed. The force system is represented as a negative spring and a

A 2D metamaterial with auxetic out-of-plane behavior and non-auxetic in-plane behavior

open access: yes, 2017
Customarily, in-plane auxeticity and synclastic bending behavior (i.e. out-of-plane auxeticity) are not independent, being the latter a manifestation of the former. Basically, this is a feature of three-dimensional bodies.
