A three dimensional seismic isolation system was developed and experimentally validated for high-voltage electric power transformers of weight in the range of 300 to 800kip. Although the validation ...
Pneumatic air tables have historically been the dependable option for decreasing vibrations in cleanrooms for research and manufacturing, where important micro-engineering instrumentation is used. The ...
Negative-stiffness mechanical isolators can be used for achieving high-performance vibration isolation in a small microscope platform. It can be challenging to use microscopy for imaging materials, ...
• Negative-stiffness isolators use mechanical components to keep vibrations from sensitive equipment. • Negative-stiffness systems’ 0.5-Hz resonant frequencies give them better low-frequency isolation ...
