Vibroprotective mechanism with the quasizero stiffness for seats of operators of construction and road machines

Abstract

Abstract The paper considers vibration isolation device with a quasi-zero stiffness, which nonlinear element is made in the form of a closed elastic rod, an elastic line described by the circle. The authors list the features of stiffness and strength characteristics of the device, and select the parameters that ensure the full protection on a portion of the suspension.
