1 Introduction
Vibration exists widely in practical engineering, and it could lead to fatigue damage of the engineering struc-
tures, deteriorate the dynamic performance and shorten their service time. Therefore, the vibration mitigation
and isolation devices are used to reduce the vibration amplitude, which increases the reliability and durability of
the engineering structures [1]. Traditional vibration mitigation and isolation devices focus on one-directional
vibration, while in some practical engineering, the vibration is multi-directional, for instance, seismic and

wind vibrations in civil engineering [2]. For multi-directional vibration, the vibration mitigation and isolation
devices should have effectiveness in all directions.
Here, the vibration isolator is considered and some researchers have conducted studies in multi-directional
vibration isolation area. Xu et al. [3] presented a comprehensive assessment of recent developments of multi-
directional (MD) vibration isolator and the material used in these devices. Sun and Jing [4] designed a three-
directional quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator, and it is composed of two symmetrically scissor-like
structures in the horizontal direction and a spring–mass–damper system in the vertical direction, which reduces
the natural frequencies and resonant peak in both directions. Furthermore, Xu and Sun [5] exploit the potential
benefits of time-delayed active control for the three-directional QZS vibration isolator. Wu et al. [6] constructed
a 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) vibration isolator which combines the X-shaped structure and Stewart platform,
and it has good isolation performance in 6 directions. Zhou et al. [7] devised a 6 DOF vibration isolator using
a cam-roller-beam mechanism, which broadens the vibration isolation bandwidth and has higher effectiveness
in the lower frequency band. Dong et al. [8] constructed a MD vibration isolator with QZS structure and spatial
pendulum, which achieves better low-frequency vibration isolation performance in multiple directions. Lu et al.
[9] proposed an electromagnetic Stewart platform to reduce the vibration in 6 directions and simultaneously
harvest energy. Chai et al. [10] presented a 3DOF X-shaped structure-based vibration isolator, which achieves
low-frequency vibration isolation in 3 directions. Yang and Cao [11] designed a 6DOF micro-vibration isolator
based on the hexagon structure and obtained a broader isolation bandwidth. In these researches, the MD
vibration isolator is based on the spring and damper structure and has nonlinear stiffness or nonlinear damping
characteristic, and the further improvement of the isolation performance is restricted by its inherent structure.
As a two-terminal inertial structure, the inerter possesses the characteristic that the generated force between
its two ends is proportional to its relative acceleration [12]. This proportionality is expressed as inertance and
has the unit of kilogram. The inerter retains the mass amplification affect and supplies a larger inertance
compared with its own mass, and the total inertial of the system would be increased without the need of adding
more mass and thus satisfies the lightweight requirement. The inerter has been used in different areas and
illustrated favorable effects owing to its mechanical property. Wagg [13] presented a review of the mechanical
inerter and analyzed its physical realizations and nonlinear applications. Hu et al. [14], Qin et al. [15]and
Wang et al. [16] studied the dynamic response of the inerter-based suspension, and a better vehicle ride comfort
can be realized than the traditional suspension. Li et al. [17] introduced an inerter-based mechanical passive
suppression device to the design of the landing gear, and better shimmy performance can be obtained as the
aircraft is landing. Zhang et al. [18], Wang and Giaralis [19] and Zhao et al. [20] utilized the inerter in the
building isolation device, which reduces the seismic and wind vibrations. Hu and Chen [21], Barredo et al.
[22], Shi et al. [23] proposed the inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber, which expands the bandwidth
and reduces the vibration amplitude than the classic dynamic vibration absorber. Lewis et al. [24]usedthe
inerter-based suspension to enhance both track wear and passenger comfort in the high-speed train. Dai et al.
[25] designed a nonlinear tuned mass damper inerter to suppress the longitudinal vibration transmission in
propulsion shaft system. Liu et al. [26] constructed linear and geometrically nonlinear inerter-based resonator
in metamaterials and obtained a lower-frequency bandgap.
Some scholars have designed different kinds of inerter-based vibration isolators and acquired some fruitful
results. Hu et al. [27] and Wang et al. [28] constructed different types of inerter-based linear vibration isolators,
studied their dynamic characteristics and found that a better dynamic performance is obtained compared with
the linear ones. Furthermore, Wang et al. [29] put forward a semi-active inerter-based linear vibration isolator
based on the acceleration–velocity switch control strategy to improve the isolation performance. ˇ
Cakmak et al.
[30,31] conducted a dynamic performance and optimization of vibration-induced fatigue in a 2DOF inerter-
based vibration isolator. Dai et al. [32] proposed two kinds of inerter-based piecewise vibration isolators,
which has both bilinear and mass magnification characteristics, and found that the parallel-connected one
has smaller transmissibility peak than the traditional linear and piecewise vibration isolators. Moraes et al.
[33], Wang et al. [34] and Yang et al. [35] designed a nonlinear vibration isolator with lateral inerters, which
has nonlinear inertial characteristic, a wider isolation bandwidth and a smaller transmissibility which can be
acquired. In addition, Wang et al. [36,37] devised three types of inerter-based QZS vibration isolator, which
further reduces the transmissibility and widens the isolation bandwidth than the QZS one. Dong et al. [38]
proposed an inerter-based nonlinear passive joint device and applied it in the coupled systems to suppress the
vibration transmission. Shi et al. [39] arranged an inerter in a diamond-shaped linkage mechanism to construct
an inerter-based nonlinear vibration isolator, which can shift and bend transmissibility peaks and power flow
to the lower frequency band and achieve a wider isolation frequency band.

Until now, the inerter has been applied in the linear and nonlinear vibration isolation areas, based on the
layout of inerter, damper and spring structure, different kinds of inerter-based linear and nonlinear vibration
isolators have been constructed, and the results indicate that the dynamic performance can be improved as the
inerter is added. In the above researches, the vertical-directional vibration isolation is mainly considered, while
the MD vibration isolation has been rarely studied. Thus, the authors introduce the inerter in the MD vibration
isolation area and propose a novel inerter-based multi-directional (IMD) vibration isolator in this paper. In the
three directions, the IMD vibration isolator is composed of the inerter, damper and spring structure, respectively,
and the three elements are in the parallel-connected. The dynamic performance of the IMD vibration isolator
under base harmonic and shock excitations is studied in detail, and the influence law of the structural parameters
on its isolation performance is elucidated, especially the inerter. The purpose of this paper is to study how
the inerter affects the isolation performance in the multiple directions, and whether the IMD vibration isolator
could have beneficial dynamic performance than the conventional MD vibration isolator consisting of the
damper and spring.
The paper is arranged as follows. In Sect. 2, the IMD vibration isolator is presented and the Lagrange
theory is used to establish its dynamic equation. In Sect. 3, combining the harmonic balance method (HBM)
and the pseudo-arc-length (PAL) method, the dynamic response of the IMD vibration isolator subjected to
base harmonic excitation is acquired and the stability of the dynamic response is investigated; the isolation
performance is analyzed and compared with the MD vibration isolator. The dynamic performance of the IMD
vibration isolator under base shock excitation is investigated in Sect. 4. Section 5summarizes the conclusions.
2 Structure and modeling
2.1 Structural diagram
Figure 1shows the structural diagram of the IMD vibration isolator, which is designed for three-directional
vibration isolation. The isolation object is loaded in the support platform, and the support platform is connected
with the base through the inerter-based isolation structure, which is composed of the inerter, damper and
spring. The structural parameters of the IMD vibration isolator are displayed in Table 1. The displacement of
the isolation object in the three directions is xa,yaand za, respectively, and the displacement of the base in the
three directions is xb,yband zb, respectively. Due to the same structural parameters of the inerter, damper and
spring in the xand zdirections, the dynamic response of the isolation object in the xand zdirections is the
same, so the three-directional vibration isolation can be simplified as the xand ydirections vibration isolation
for brevity. Figure 2shows the plane diagram of the IMD vibration isolator in the xand ydirections. Aware
that the pre-deformation of the horizontal spring is λh, it is pre-extended as λh>0 or pre-compressed as λh
<0.

xbmcos(ωt)andybmcos(ωt), respectively, which have the same excitation frequency ω,and the base amplitudes
are xbm and ybm, respectively. Substituting the base harmonic excitations into Eqs. (15)and(16), also using

3.2 Natural frequency
For the IMD vibration isolator, the dynamic equation in the xand ydirections is two nonlinear coupled
equations, and if the excitation base amplitude and dynamic response are smaller; compared with the linear
terms, the nonlinear terms in the dynamic equation are smaller, then the nonlinear and higher-order terms can
be neglected. Thus in this case, the nonlinear dynamic equations can be simplified into the linear one, and the
corresponding linear equations of Eqs. (18)and(19)are

r+4ζhXr+2γXr2Xbm cos(T),(20)
(1 + δv)Yr+2ζvYr+1+2γ2γ
1+μYr2Ybm cos(T),(21)
Equations (20)and(21) are two uncoupled linear equations. For a linear vibration isolation system, its
isolation performance depends on its natural frequency and yields a beneficial isolation affect when the exci-
tation frequency is larger than 2 times its natural frequency. The natural frequencies of the simplified linear
vibration isolator in the xand ydirections are given as
x2γ
1+2δhy1+(1+2γ)μ
(1 + δv)(1 + μ),(22)
which relies on the stiffness ratio γ, horizontal spring compression ratio μ, inertance-to-mass ratio (δv,δh).
The horizontal natural frequency of the simplified linear vibration isolator with a different horizontal
inertance-to-mass ratio δhand stiffness ratio γis shown in Fig. 4. The horizontal natural frequency becomes
smaller as increasing the horizontal inertance-to-mass ratio δhor reducing the stiffness ratio γ. The vertical
natural frequency also decreases as increasing the vertical inertance-to-mass ratio δv, and its changing tendency
with other two structural parameters is shown in Fig. 5. So as to maintain the vertical natural frequency positive,
the horizontal spring compression ratio μshould be equal to or larger than -1/(1 + 2γ). The vertical natural
frequency becomes larger as increasing the horizontal spring compression ratio μ, and if the horizontal spring
is pre-compressed, it increases as the stiffness ratio γdecreases, while if the horizontal spring is pre-extended,
it increases as the stiffness ratio γincreases.
3.3 Approximate solution
For the IMD vibration isolator, Eqs. (18)and(19) are strongly coupled nonlinear equations, the HBM is
acquired to obtain its dynamic response [40,41], and taking the first-order and third-order harmonics, the
approximate solutions are expressed as
Xra1cos(T)+a2sin(T)+a3cos(3T)+a4sin(3T)
Yrb1cos(T)+b2sin(T)+b3cos(3T)+b4sin(3T),(23)
Nonlinear vibration and dynamic performance analysis

Substituting Eq. (23) into Eqs. (18)and(19), balancing the same harmonic terms in the two equations
based on cos(ΩT), sin(ΩT), cos(3ΩT) and sin(3ΩT) yields the following equations
F1(a1,···a4,b1,···b4,

)cos(3T)+F8(a1,···a4,b1,···b4,
)sin(3T)0,
(24)
Letting the coefficients of the first-order and third-order harmonic terms equal to zero derives the following
eight nonlinear equations
F1(a1,···a4,b1,···b4,
)0,···Fi(a1,···a4,b1,···b4,

The expressions of the eight nonlinear equations are shown in Appendix. Equation (25) can also be expressed
as

where F[F1,···F8]Tand A[a1,···a4,b1,···b4], Eq. (26) can be rewritten as

3.4 Stability analysis
In order to analyze the stability of the steady-state amplitudes, the formal approximate solutions (Eq. 23)are
expressed as the time-varying ones, which are given as
Xr(T)a1(T)cos(T)+a2(T)sin(T)+a3(T)cos(3T)+a4(T)sin(3T)
Yr(T)b1(T)cos(T)+b2(T)sin(T)+b3(T)cos(3T)+b4(T)sin(3T).(39)
Substituting Eq. (39) into Eqs. (18)and(19), balancing the same harmonic terms in the two equations
based on cos(ΩT), sin(ΩT), cos(3ΩT) and sin(3ΩT), letting the coefficients of the first-order and third-order
harmonic terms equal to zero yields

Equation (41) can be transformed into an explicit form which is composed of eight first-order differential

where F∗∗ denotes a group of algebraic equations including the time-varying amplitudes A(t)and excitation

Therefore, the stability of the steady-state amplitudes transforms into the stability of the first derivative of
the time-varying amplitude, which is defined by Eq. (42). Then, the first method of Lyapunov is adopted to
judge the stability of Eq. (42), and the eigenvalues of the Jacobian determinant for Eq. (42) are given as

3.5 Dynamic response
Figure 6shows the FRC of the IMD vibration isolator under different base amplitudes, which shows the
representative changing trends. The horizontal and vertical inertance-to-mass ratios (δh,δv) are chosen as 0.5,
which are relatively smaller values. The horizontal and vertical damping ratios (ζh,ζv) are chosen as 0.05,
the stiffness ratio γis chosen as 2, the length ratio ηis chosen as 1, the horizontal spring compression ratio
μis chosen as 0 which indicates that it is in the original length state, and the vertical and horizontal base
amplitudes are chosen as the same values. As can be seen from Fig. 6, the resonance frequency of the IMD
vibration isolator in the ydirection is smaller than that of the xdirection, and while the resonance peak shows
the reverse tendency. When the base amplitude is relatively smaller, the FRCs of the IMD vibration isolator
in the xand ydirections are single-valued, display linear characteristics and seem linear vibration system, and
the steady-state amplitudes are stable, which is shown in Fig. 6a.
When the base amplitude increases, the FRC of the IMD vibration isolator in the ydirection turns to the
right, displays hardening characteristic and seems hardening Duffing vibration system; while the FRC in the
xdirection displays linear characteristic, except in a frequency band that is consistent with the resonance one
of the ydirection, there exists a folding point in the FRC and there are unstable steady-state amplitudes in this
frequency band, and this tendency is exhibited in Fig. 6b. The eigenvalues in the resonance frequency band of
the ydirectionareshowninTable2, and the stability of the steady-state amplitudes can be determined based
on the eigenvalues.
When the base amplitude is a larger value, the FRC of the IMD vibration isolator in the ydirection turns to
the left, displays softening characteristic and seems softening Duffing vibration system; while the FRC in the
xdirection has two resonance frequencies, the FRC around the smaller resonance frequency turns to the left
and shows softening characteristic, this resonance frequency band corresponds to the resonance one of the y
direction, the FRC around the larger resonance frequency is linear, and this tendency is exhibited in Fig. 6c.
The eigenvalues in the resonance frequency band can be also determined and are not shown for simplicity.
Aware that when the excitation frequency falls into the range [0.95, 1], there exist five steady-state amplitudes,
among the five steady-state amplitudes, three ones are stable and two ones are unstable, and the stability can
be determined by calculating the corresponding eigenvalues. When the excitation frequency Ω0.98, there
exist three stable steady-state amplitudes and the Fourier spectra for the three stable steady-state amplitudes
are shown in Fig. 7.

As the horizontal and vertical inertance-to-mass ratios (δh,δv) are chosen as 10, which are relatively larger
values, the corresponding FRC of the IMD vibration isolator under different base amplitudes is shown in
Fig. 8, and the other structural parameters are chosen as the same values with those of Fig. 6. When the base
amplitudes (Xbm,Ybm) are chosen as 0.1, the FRCs of the IMD vibration isolator in the xand ydirections are
single-valued and show linear characteristics, which is shown in Fig. 8a, and this changing trend is similar
to Fig. 6a. As shown in Fig. 8b, when the base amplitudes (Xbm,Ybm) increase to 0.4, a different changing
trendoftheFRCinthexdirection is observed. The FRC in the xdirection turns to the left, displays softening
characteristic and seems softening Duffing vibration system; the FRC in the ydirection turns to the right,
displays hardening characteristic and seems hardening Duffing vibration system, another resonance frequency

is found and its resonance peak is relatively smaller, and the stability of the FRC can be also determined by
calculating the corresponding eigenvalues, which is not shown for brevity.
The fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is used to solve Eqs. (18)and(19) to acquire the numerical results,
which are shown as circles in Figs. 6and 8. The analytical results exhibit good consistent with the numerical
results, and it denotes that adopting the HBM and PAL method to acquire the analytical results can represent the
real dynamic responses, which is an effective method to solve this type of strongly coupled nonlinear dynamic
system. The asterisks shown in Figs. 6and 8denote the unstable analytical results, which is determined by
the eigenvalues of the Jacobian determinant for Eq. (42). It should be noted that the non-dimensional dynamic
displacement is normalized by the original length of the vertical spring, and if the base amplitude is larger, the
dynamic displacement in the xand ydirections can be larger, especially for the resonance peaks.
3.6 Isolation performance
For the IMD vibration isolator, its isolation performance in this paper is evaluated by three performance criteria:
(1) dynamic displacement peak, (2) displacement transmissibility peak and (3) isolation frequency band, and
the absolute displacements in the xand ydirections are given as
Xam Xrm +Xbm cos(T)(a1+Xbm)cos(T)+a2sin(T)+a3cos(3T)+a4sin(3T)
Yam Yrm +Ybm cos(T)(b1+Ybm)cos(T)+b2sin(T)+b3cos(3T)+b4sin(3T),(45)
Then, the corresponding absolute displacement transmissibilities are obtained as

The dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks should maintain smaller for
the IMD vibration isolator, which determines the maximum dynamic displacement and absolute displacement
transmissibility, respectively. The isolation frequency band determines the bandwidth where the IMD vibration
isolator provides a advantageous isolation performance, which in this frequency band the absolute displacement
transmissibility is smaller than 1.
For the IMD vibration isolator, the horizontal and vertical inertance-to-mass ratios (δh,δv) determine
its inertial characteristic and the effect of inerter in the xand ydirections, respectively; the stiffness ratio γ

determines its stiffness characteristic; the horizontal spring compression ratio μand the length ratio ηdetermine
the initial state of the horizontal spring and the acceleration, velocity and displacement terms in the dynamic
equation (see Eqs. (18)and(19)), which has effect on the inertial, damping and stiffness characteristics.

Following the same solving procedure shown in Sect. 3.3, the HBM and PAL methods are used to acquire
the dynamic response, and then, the absolute displacement transmissibility can be obtained.
The dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility of the IMD vibration isolator in
the xand ydirections with a different inertance-to-mass ratio (δh,δv), stiffness ratio γ, horizontal spring
compression ratio μand length ratio ηare shown in Figs. 9,10,11,12 and 13, respectively. In Figs. 9,10,11,
12 and 13, the horizontal and vertical base amplitudes (Xbm,Ybm) are chosen as 0.01, which are smaller base
amplitudes, and the FRC of the IMD vibration isolator displays linear characteristic.
Y. Wang et al.

in xdirection and dabsolute displacement transmissibility in ydirection of the IMD vibration isolator with different δv(δh
0.5, γ2, η1, μ0, ζhζv0.05, Xbm Ybm 0.01)
As shown in Fig. 9, for the IMD vibration isolator, when the horizontal inertance-to-mass ratio increases,
the dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks in the xdirection decrease, the
resonance frequency in the xdirection becomes smaller, and the isolation frequency band in the xdirection
becomes wider, while the high-frequency absolute displacement transmissibility in the xdirection increases.
It should be noted that for the chosen horizontal inertance-to-mass ratio range (δh[0, 10]), the isolation
performance criteria in the ydirection remain almost the same, which indicates that the horizontal inertance-
to-mass ratio has less effect on the ydirection isolation performance than that of the xdirection.
As shown in Fig. 10, for the IMD vibration isolator, as the vertical inertance-to-mass ratio increases,
the dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks in the ydirection decrease, the
resonance frequency in the ydirection decreases, and the isolation frequency band in the ydirection widens,
while the high-frequency absolute displacement transmissibility in the ydirection increases. For the chosen
vertical inertance-to-mass ratio range (δv[0, 10]), the isolation performance criteria in the xdirection remain
almost the same, which suggests that the vertical inertance-to-mass ratio has less effect on the xdirection
isolation performance than that of the ydirection.
Compared with the MD vibration isolator (δhδv0), the IMD vibration isolator further reduces the
dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks and also widens the isolation frequency
band; however, only the high-frequency absolute displacement transmissibility is larger. Therefore, adding the
vertical and horizontal inerters on the basis of the MD vibration isolator to constitute the IMD one could further
improve the isolation performance.
For the IMD vibration isolator, by increasing the stiffness ratio, the dynamic displacement and absolute
displacement transmissibility peaks in the xdirection increase, the resonance frequency in the xdirection
becomes larger and the isolation frequency band in the xdirection becomes narrower, while the dynamic dis-
placement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks in the ydirection increase a bit, and the resonance

in xdirection and dabsolute displacement transmissibility in ydirection of the IMD vibration isolator with different γ(δhδv
0.5, η1, μ0, ζhζv0.05, Xbm Ybm 0.01)
frequency and isolation frequency band in the ydirection remains almost the same. This trend is shown in
Fig. 11.
For the IMD vibration isolator, when the horizontal spring compression ratio increases, the isolation
performance criteria in the xdirection maintain the same which indicates that the horizontal spring compression
ratio has little effect on the xdirection isolation performance, while the dynamic displacement and absolute
displacement transmissibility peaks in the ydirection increase, the resonance frequency in the ydirection
becomes larger and the isolation frequency band in the ydirection becomes narrower. It should be noted that if
the horizontal spring compression ratio is equal to 1/(1 + 2γ) for a fixed stiffness ratio, the natural frequency
of the corresponding linear vibration isolator in the ydirection is equal to 0 (see Eq. (22) and Fig. 5), and
the IMD vibration isolator can achieve the full frequency band vibration isolation in the ydirection, which is
clearly shown in Fig. 12d. The overall trend is exhibited in Fig. 12.
For the IMD vibration isolator, the length ratio has little effect on the isolation performance in the xand
ydirections. The isolation performance criteria in the xdirection retain the same with different length ratios.
When the length ratio increases, the dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks
in the ydirection decrease a bit, the resonance frequency in the ydirection becomes a little smaller, and the
isolation frequency band in the ydirection becomes a little wider. This trend is illustrated in Fig. 13.
As the inertance-to-mass ratio is chosen as smaller and larger values, the dynamic displacement and
absolute displacement transmissibility of the IMD vibration isolator in the xand ydirections with different base
amplitudes (Xbm,Ybm ) is shown in Figs. 14 and 15, respectively. When the inertance-to-mass ratio is chosen as
smaller value, increasing the base amplitude results in larger dynamic displacement and absolute displacement
transmissibility peaks in the xand ydirections, while it has bit effect on the isolation frequency band. It should
be noted that for larger horizontal base amplitude, there exists an additional smaller resonance frequency in the
FRC for the xdirection and the corresponding resonance peak is larger, which further deteriorates the isolation
performance. When the inertance-to-mass ratio is chosen as larger value, increasing the base amplitude results
in larger dynamic displacement peak in the xand ydirections, while leads to smaller absolute displacement

transmissibility peak in the xand ydirections, widens the isolation frequency band in the xdirection, while
narrows the isolation frequency band in the ydirection.
Overall, the IMD vibration isolator can enhance the isolation performance of the MD vibration isolator
significantly. The horizontal and vertical inertance-to-mass ratios are selected as larger values for better xand
ydirections isolation performance, the stiffness ratio is selected as smaller value that is especially better for
xdirection isolation performance, the horizontal spring compression ratio is selected as smaller value that is
especially better for ydirection isolation performance, and the length ratio is selected as larger value which is
a bit better for ydirection isolation performance.
4 Base shock excitation
Then, the base shock excitation is considered and the rounded displacement pulse [43] is used here, which can
denote a bump or discrete irregularity of the road in practical engineering. The shock excitation in the xand y
directions is expressed as
xbxbme24(νωnt)2eνωntyb(t)ybme24(νωnt)2eνωnt,(49)
where ωnkv/mand νis the severity parameter; if the shock excitation is more severer, the parameter
νis larger. For the IMD vibration isolator, substituting Eq. (49) into Eqs. (15)and(16), and combined with
Eq. (17) yields its non-dimensional dynamic equation subjected to shock excitation

The time history of the absolute displacement in the xand ydirections with different inertance-to-mass
ratios is displayed in Fig. 16,whereν5 denotes less severe impact. The IMD vibration isolator can further
reduce the displacement peak than the MD one, and the displacement peak has decreasing trend by increasing
the inertance-to-mass ratio.
The shock performance of the IMD vibration isolator under shock excitation is assessed using the maximum
absolute displacement ratio (MADR), which is defined as

Similar to the harmonic excitation, the effect of the inertance-to-mass ratio (δh,δv), stiffness ratio γ,
horizontal spring compression ratio μandlengthratioηon the shock performance is mainly analyzed. The
MADR of the IMD vibration isolator in the xand ydirections is calculated in the νrange from 0.1 to 100, which
covers the slight and severe impact, and Figs. 17,18,19 and 20 show the changing tendency of the MADR
with different δ,γ,μand η, respectively. The horizontal and vertical inertance-to-mass ratios are selected
as the same values for brevity in this section. The horizontal and vertical damping ratios (ζh,ζv) are chosen
as 0.05, and the horizontal and vertical base amplitudes (Xbm,Ybm) are chosen as 0.01. When the severity
parameter increases, the MADR of the IMD vibration isolator first increases, then reaches a peak value and
finally decreases to a fixed value.
As shown in Fig. 17, for smaller severity parameter, the MADR decreases by increasing the inertance-to-
mass ratio, while for larger severity parameter, the MADR increases by increasing the inertance-to-mass ratio.
Compared with the MD vibration isolator (δhδv0), the IMD vibration isolator further reduces the MADR
in the middle severity parameter range, while it increases the MADR in the higher severity parameter range.
As displayed in Fig. 18, the stiffness ratio has little effect on the shock performance in the ydirection.
When the severity parameter is smaller, the MADR in the xdirection decreases by increasing the stiffness

ratio; as the severity parameter increases to a larger value (e.g., ν>10), the MADR in the xdirection remains
almost the same with different stiffness ratios.
As exhibited in Fig. 19, the horizontal spring compression ratio has little effect on the shock performance
in the xdirection. When the severity parameter is smaller, the MADR in the ydirection decreases as the
horizontal spring compression ratio increases; when the severity parameter increases, the MADR in the y
direction increases as the horizontal spring compression ratio increases; as the severity parameter increases to
a larger value (e.g., ν>10), the MADR in the ydirection remains almost the same with different horizontal
spring compression ratios. It should be noted that if the horizontal spring compression ratio is equal to 1/(1

+2γ) for a fixed stiffness ratio, the MADR in the ydirection is smaller than 1 in the full severity parameter
range, which achieves excellent shock performance and is the same with those of harmonic excitation shown
in Sect. 3.6.
As illustrated in Fig. 20, the length ratio has little on the shock performance in the xand ydirections, which
the MADR in the xand ydirections remains almost the same with different length ratios.
Overall, the IMD vibration isolator can improve the shock performance of the MD vibration isolator in the
middle severity parameter range; in order to acquire a better shock performance, the vertical and horizontal
inertance-to-mass ratios are chosen as larger values, and the stiffness ratio and thehorizontal spring compression
ratio are chosen as smaller values.

5Conclusion
This paper adds the vertical and horizontal inerters on the basis of the MD vibration isolator and proposes the
IMD vibration isolator consisting of the inerter, damper and spring structures. The Lagrange theory is used
to establish its dynamic equation, combining the HBM and PAL method, the dynamic response subjected to
base harmonic excitation is acquired and the stability of the dynamic response is investigated, the dynamic
performance under harmonic and shock excitations is analyzed, and compared with those of the MD vibration
isolator, the effect of structural parameters on its dynamic performance is studied in detail. This work yields
the following conclusions:
(1) The dynamic equation of the IMD vibration isolator in the multiple directions is strongly coupled nonlinear
dynamic equations, the HBM and PAL method could be used to conveniently obtain its dynamic response,
and the analytical results exhibit good accuracy with the numerical results, which confirms the validity
of the analytical method.
(2) The IMD vibration isolator has nonlinear inertial, damping and stiffness characteristics, and it further
reduces the dynamic displacement and absolute displacement transmissibility peaks, widens the isolation
frequency band than the MD vibration isolator and also has better shock performance in the middle
severity parameter range.
(3) In order to achieve better isolation and shock performance, the vertical and horizontal inertance-to-mass
ratios (δv,δh) are chosen as larger values, and the stiffness ratio γand the horizontal spring compression
ratio μare chosen as smaller values.
In summary, the proposed IMD vibration isolator is a original device and exhibits the advantages of applying
the inerter, which provides excellent isolation and shock performance in multiple directions.

The X-structure has been used for vibration isolation due to its nonlinear characteristic. Here, the use of an inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of the traditional X-structure vibration isolator by exploiting the mass amplification characteristic of the inerter while satisfying the lightweight design requirement. Based on the arrangement of the inerter and X-structure, transverse-mounted, series-connected and parallel-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolators are designed. The relevant dynamic equations for these isolators are established using the Lagrange principle, their dynamic responses are obtained using the harmonic balance method and pseudoarc-length method, and their isolation performances are evaluated by three performance indices and compared with those of the X-structure and traditional linear vibration isolators. The results show that the transverse-mounted inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator has nonlinear inertial, nonlinear conservative forcing and nonlinear stiffness characteristics and that the series-connected and parallel-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolators have linear inertial and nonlinear stiffness characteristics. The transverse-mounted and parallel-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolators have a smaller relative dynamic displacement peak, absolute dynamic displacement peak, absolute displacement transmissibility peak and resonance frequency and wider isolation frequency band than the X-structure isolator, and only the high-frequency absolute displacement transmissibility is larger for the transverse-mounted and parallel-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolators. A series-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator can isolate a relatively low-frequency vibration because of the antiresonance frequency and thus can improve the high-frequency absolute displacement transmissibility, while the relative dynamic displacement peak, absolute dynamic displacement peak and absolute displacement transmissibility peak are larger for the series-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator than for the X-structure isolator. The parallel-connected inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator exhibits the best isolation performance and the transverse-mounted inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator exhibits the best shock performance among the four X-structure and linear vibration isolators studied. In addition, the experimental prototype of the inerter-based X-structure vibration isolator is built to test its performance, the theoretical and experimental results are compared to verify the validity of the theoretical modelling. This paper verifies the benefit of introducing the inerter in the X-structure and offers a better choice for effective vibration isolation in practical engineering.

This study proposes an anhysteretic high-static–low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) vibration isolator with tunable nonlinear inerters. The aim is to overcome the drawbacks of conventional HSLDS vibration isolators. The conventional systems experience an abrupt, undesirable change in frequency response due to stiffness-hardening nonlinearity, leading to hysteresis. This hysteresis issue worsens under a strong excitation force, consequently narrowing the frequency bandwidth for vibration isolation. To address this limitation, several recent investigations have examined the beneficial effects of geometrically nonlinear inertance. Nonetheless, these studies have mainly concentrated on the quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) scenario, yielding findings that mitigate, rather than eliminating, hysteresis. This study redirects focus to an HSLDS vibration isolator that goes beyond QZS systems, exploring the exact condition for hysteresis elimination through the integration of tunable nonlinear inerters that counterbalance stiffness-hardening effects. Bifurcation analyses uncover how dynamic hysteresis cancellation depends on various system parameters, including inertance, stiffness, length, and damping ratios. This study delineates three distinct parametric regions based on inertance and length ratios: those conducive to hysteresis elimination, suppression, and magnification. The findings of these rigorous conditions for passive hysteresis control are valid across the full parametric spectrum of the HSLDS vibration isolator. Theoretical analysis further validates the advantages of the proposed system, emphasizing its HSLDS characteristics, reduced maximum force transmissibility, and widened frequency bandwidth for isolation. Insights from this research establish a foundational framework for future advancements in designing nonlinear inerter-based anhysteretic vibration isolators.

Shimmy may occur in the vehicle normal driving process, which is a harmful motion and should be controlled in practical engineering. In order to improve the vehicle driving and handling stability, four kinds of passive inerter-based suppression mechanisms are proposed and applied in the vehicle suspension to improve its shimmy performance. The configurations S1 and S2 are composed of one inerter and one damper, which are in parallel-connected and series-connected, respectively, furthermore, an auxiliary spring is added to constitute configurations S3 and S4. Combined with the magic nonlinear tire model, the vehicle shimmy model with four inerter-based suppression mechanisms is established using Lagrange theory, its shimmy performance is studied using bifurcation analysis method, the stable area and limit cycle oscillation (LCO) magnitude of the system are obtained and compared with those of the original suspension system. The effect of the structural parameters of the inerter-based suppression mechanisms on the vehicle shimmy performance is analyzed, and the structural parameter optimization of the inerter-based suppression mechanism is investigated. The results show that the only parallel-connected and series-connected configurations S1 and S2 have little improvement effect on the vehicle shimmy performance. As the configurations S3 and S4 are used, the unstable area dominated by left and right steering shimmy reduces, the shimmy occurred vehicle velocity range becomes narrower and the maximum LCO magnitude of the front wheel swing motion becomes smaller, which suppresses the vehicle shimmy effectively and clarifies the benefits of the inerter and the necessity of adding the auxiliary spring. In addition, larger inertance of the inerter and smaller stiffness of the auxiliary spring is beneficial to improve the vehicle shimmy performance. The optimized structural parameters of the configurations S3 and S4 are obtained, which maintain the vehicle shimmy system stable, and further shorten the time for the vehicle shimmy system to reach stability. Therefore, the inerter-based suppression mechanism can effectively restrain the vehicle shimmy motion and give guiding significance for the design of vehicle shimmy suppression mechanism.

Multiple-direction vibration widely exists in the environment, which is harmful to instruments and people. Hence, the high demand for vibration isolators with exceptional efficiency is thus evident. Although the proposed nonlinear energy sink was proven to be highly utility, most of the developed such devices, even with some inerter enhanced NESs, are limited to one-dimensional vibration suppression. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional inerter-enhanced NES (2D IE-NES) which is applicable for multiple-directional low-frequency vibration suppression. The Lagrangian method is employed to derive the dynamic equations of the 2D IE-NES. Then these differential equations are solved by means of the Runge-Kutta method. Numerical results show that the novel 2D IE-NES configuration can isolate vibration more efficiently than the traditional NES under both instantaneous shock and constant periodic excitation. The role of the inerter in the vibration decaying process is highlighted in energy flow. This paper provides a new platform for the low-frequency multiple-direction vibration isolator.

This research investigates the nonlinear dynamics and performance enhancement of a suspension system using a diamond-shaped linkage with inerter (D-inerter). The proposed suspension system consists of two inerters embedded in a four-bar linkage mechanism connected with a spring and a damper. Both sinusoidal and random road profiles are considered as external excitation sources. The evaluation of vibration isolation and riding comfort performance is based on displacement transmissibility, acceleration amplitude, car body acceleration, suspension stroke, and dynamic tyre load. The results show that compared with a linear suspension system, the D-inerter has a broader bandwidth of enhanced isolation and lower resonant peak. It is found that a larger inertance value and initial length between the ends of inerter can effectively improve the suppression performance of the nonlinear suspension. The root mean square of vehicle body acceleration with the D-inerter is decreased by 21.5% at the speed of 30 m/s. Additionally, design guidance is provided to select optimal inertance values for improved suspension performance. The results demonstrate that the D-inerter is beneficial for enhancing the suspension structural stability, riding comfort, and vibration suppression, which can potentially be employed for vibration isolation in suspension systems.

Vehicle shimmy could occur in the running process when the wheel encounters external disturbance, which affects the vehicle safety and stability. Four types of passive inerter-based suppression mechanisms are proposed to enhance the vehicle shimmy performance, the steering linkage clearance is considered as the nonlinear factor existing in the vehicle system. The vehicle shimmy model using inerter-based suppression mechanism and considering steering linkage clearance is established according to the Lagrange theory, the vehicle shimmy performance is studied based on the bifurcation analysis theory, the stable area and limit cycle oscillation (LCO) magnitude are acquired and compared for different suppression mechanisms. The effect of steering linkage clearance and structural parameters of the inerter-based suppression mechanisms on the vehicle shimmy performance is investigated. The results show that the inerter-based suppression mechanism can reduce the unstable area dominated by left and right steering shimmy significantly, shrink the vehicle shimmy occurred speed range and decrease the maximum LCO magnitude of the front wheel swing motion. When the steering linkage clearance exists and increases, the unstable area, vehicle shimmy occurred speed range and maximum LCO magnitude increase significantly, the vehicle motion can change from periodic to quasi-periodic or even chaotic, which degenerates the vehicle shimmy performance. Furthermore, larger inertance of the inerter and smaller stiffness of the auxiliary spring, larger contact stiffness and friction damping in the steering linkage clearance is better to suppress the vehicle shimmy. In addition, the inerter-based suppression mechanism can decrease the wheel swing angle around longitudinal axis and vertical dynamic tire load, which improves the suspension performance and further shows its advantage. Therefore, the inerter-based suppression mechanism can effectively suppress the vehicle shimmy and gives guiding significance for vehicle damping component design.

This research proposes a two-stage vibration isolation system (TS-VIS) exploiting geometrical nonlinearity by inerters for performance enhancement. Lateral inerters are added to upper and lower stages creating geometric nonlinearity. The transmissibility and power flow indices are used for the performance evaluation. It is demonstrated that the inerters in both stages of the TS-VIS can enhance substantially the effectiveness of isolation at low frequencies by bending and shifting the resonance peaks in the force and energy transmission curves to the left while reducing the peak heights in these curves. It shows the use of inerters introduces a local minimum in the transmissibility curve which can be exploited for significant reduction in vibration transmission at a desirable frequency. By tailoring the inertance ratios for both stages of the TS-VIS, further improvements on the performance can be achieved by extending the frequency range of effective isolation. This work shows the benefits of using nonlinear inerters in the TS-VIS to obtain superior low-frequency isolation performance, which is potentially applicable in engineering systems such as floating raft structures.

This study presents an inerter-based nonlinear vibration isolator with geometrical nonlinearity created by configuring an inerter in a diamond-shaped linkage mechanism. The isolation performance of the proposed nonlinear isolator subjected to force or base-motion excitations is investigated. Both analytical and alternating frequency-time harmonic balance methods as well as numerical integration method are used to obtain the dynamic response. Beneficial performance of the nonlinear isolator is demonstrated by various performance indices including the force and displacement transmissibility as well as power flow variables. It is found that the use of the nonlinear inerter in the isolator can shift and bend the peaks of the transmissibility and time-averaged power flow to the low-frequency range, creating a larger frequency band of effective vibration isolation. It is also shown that the inertance-to-mass ratio and the initial distance of the nonlinear inerter can be effectively tailored to achieve reduced transmissibility and power transmission at interested frequencies. Anti-resonant peaks appear at specific frequency, creating near-zero energy transmission and significantly reducing vibration transmission to a base structure on which the proposed isolator is mounted.

This study proposes the use of a novel nonlinear tuned mass damper inerter device in vibration suppression of the ship propulsion shafting system and evaluates its performance. The device consists of an axial inerter and a pair of lateral inerters to create geometric nonlinearity. The system response subjected to propeller forces is determined by using the harmonic balance method with alternating-frequency-time technique and a numerical time-marching method. The force trans-missibility and energy flow variables are employed to assess the performance of the device. The results show that the proposed device can reduce the peak force and energy transmission to the foundation while increase the energy dissipation within the device. Its use can lead to an improved vibration attenuation effect than the traditional mass-spring-damper device for low-frequency vibration. The configurations of the nonlinear inerter-based device can be adjusted to obtain an anti-peak at a resonance frequency of the original system, providing superior vibration suppression performance.

This study proposes the use of a linear and geometrically nonlinear inerter-based resonator in locally resonant acoustic metamaterials (LRAMs) and evaluates the performance on low-frequency wave attenuation. The LRAM is modeled as a 1D chain system composed of mass-in-mass unit cells connected by springs, and the geometrical nonlinearity is achieved by two lateral inerters linking the resonator and lumped mass symmetrically with respect to the horizontal springs. For the nonlinear inerter-based LRAM, the dispersion relation is analytically derived by a complex Fourier transform and the harmonic balance method. Compared with the linear inerter-based LRAM, the proposed nonlinear inerter-based structure has the property of a low-frequency bandgap with sufficient width for longitudinal wave propagation without being sensitive to changes in the inertance ratio. The nonlinearity can extend the original material parameter restrictions, leading to a lower-frequency bandgap. The results of dispersion properties are validated by wave transmittance and vibration power flow diagrams obtained by using the method of effective mass. It is shown that an adequate number of unit cells can achieve better wave attenuation performance.

An inerter-based piecewise (IPW) vibration isolator is proposed in this paper to further improve the isolation performance of the piecewise vibration isolator without using an inerter. The IPW vibration isolator integrates the bilinear property of the piecewise vibration isolator and the mass magnification property of the inerter. Based on the arrangement of the inerter and damper, the IPW vibration isolator would have different forms. Herein, the parallel-connected (PC) and series-connected (SC) forms in the secondary structure of the IPW vibration isolator are designed, where the inerter and damper are in PC and SC forms, respectively. The two forms are defined as PC-IPW and SC-IPW vibration isolators. The dynamic response of the IPW vibration isolator under base excitation is acquired using the averaging method. The isolation performance of the IPW vibration isolator is evaluated by using three performance criteria: displacement amplitude peak, absolute displacement transmissibility peak, and isolation frequency band. The results demonstrate that the PC-IPW vibration isolator has a smaller displacement amplitude peak, smaller absolute displacement transmissibility peak and wider isolation frequency band than the piecewise and linear vibration isolators. The three performance criteria of the SC-IPW vibration isolator fall between the values of the piecewise and linear vibration isolators. In addition, the PC-IPW vibration isolator obtains the best isolation performance among the four vibration isolators. Therefore, the design of the IPW vibration isolator shows the benefits of introducing an inerter and offers an effective option for designing a piecewise vibration isolator with excellent isolation performance in practical engineering.

This study develops displacement- and kinetic energy-based tuning methods for the design of the tuned inerter dampers (TIDs) coupled to both linear and nonlinear primary systems. For the linear primary system, the design of the TID is obtained analytically. The steady-state frequency–response relationship of the nonlinear primary system with a softening or hardening stiffness nonlinearity is obtained using the harmonic balance (HB) method. Analytical and numerical tuning approaches based on HB results are proposed for optimal designs of the TID to achieve equal peaks in the response curves of the displacement and the kinetic energy of the primary system. Via the developed approaches, the optimal stiffness of the TID can be obtained according to the stiffness nonlinearity of the primary system and the inertance of the absorber. Unlike the linear primary oscillator case, for a nonlinear primary oscillator the shape of its resonant peaks is mainly affected by the damping ratio of the TID, while the peak values depend more on the stiffness ratio. The proposed designs are shown to be effective in a wide range of stiffness nonlinearities and inertances. This study demonstrates the benefits of using inerters in vibration suppression devices, and the adopted methods are directly applicable for nonlinear systems with different types of nonlinearities.

In this work, a novel spring suspension strut with quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) and zero-stiffness (ZS) properties is proposed to improve the performance of the multi-directional micro-vibration isolator. The QZS and ZS properties are achieved by developing a hexagon structure with negative stiffness mechanism to counteract the positive stiffness of a vertical suspension spring. The strut also has high loading capacity and excellent equilibrium stability. Based on the Stewart platform, the spring suspension strut can largely lower the isolation frequency in all 6-degrees-of-freedom (6DOFs), while the effectiveness of micro-vibration isolator is notably improved. The effects of nonlinearity on the stability, equivalent cross-coupling force and vibration response are discussed in detail. The design concept of the spring suspension strut is first proposed, and the static modeling is conducted. Then, by using such struts as supporting mounts, a 6DOFs micro-vibration isolator is achieved, and the equivalent cross-coupling force and stiffness of the isolator are analyzed. Furthermore, the equations of motion of the isolator are established by the Hamilton principle. The frequency response characteristics particularly for force transmissibility of the platform are obtained to achieve the parameter optimization for maximum frequency band of isolation. Finally, compared with the linear counterpart, the 6DOFs QZS and ZS micro-vibration isolator has broader bandwidth of isolation starting from lower frequency and possesses higher effectiveness in ultra-low-frequency range. The results presented herein provide an insight of dynamics into the QZS and ZS mechanisms for their application in multi-directional vibration engineering.

Recently, studies on isolation of low- and ultra-low-frequency micro-vibrations have been gaining attention to protect sensitive components, improve operating comfort, and enhance control accuracy. In this study, a modified elliptic harmonic balance method (EHBM) was used to investigate the transmissibility characteristics of a bio-inspired multistage nonlinear vibration isolation system. After decoupling the stiffness and damping matrix of the multistage nonlinear isolator, which has both stiffness and damping nonlinearities, the equation of motion can be established in a matrix form. The force equilibrium relationship at each stage of the isolator was analysed when it was at steady-state. Using Jacobi elliptic functions, we analyse the relationship between the excitation frequency and the Jacobi elliptic frequency and modulus during the steady-state response of the system. The modified stiffness and damping force components, as well as the amplitude and phase differences of each force component at each stage, are presented as vectors in an orthogonal relationship. A three-stage isolator, which is a simple case of a multistage nonlinear isolation system, and a twelve-stage nonlinear isolation system, representing twelve cervical vertebrae in birds, are chosen as examples. The EHBM and the first-order harmonic balance method (HB1) were used to obtain the force and displacement transmissibilities of these two systems. The EHBM can maintain the same number and form of balancing equations as the HB1 but delivers better accuracy within the resonance regimes.

This study proposes an inerter-based nonlinear passive joint device and investigates its performance in suppression of vibration transmission in coupled systems. The joint device comprises an axial inerter and a pair of lateral inerters creating geometric nonlinearity, with the nonlinear inertance force being a function of the relative displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the two terminals. Both analytical approximations based on the harmonic balance method and numerical integration are used to obtain the steady-state response amplitude. Force transmissibility and time-averaged energy flow variables are used as performance indices to evaluate the vibration transmission in the coupled system, with subsystems representing the dominant modes of interactive engineering structures. The effects of adding the proposed joint to the force-excited subsystem or to the coupling interface of subsystems on suppression performance are examined. It is found that the insertion of the inerter-based nonlinear joint can shift and bend response peaks to lower frequencies, substantially reducing the vibration of the subsystems at prescribed frequencies. By adding the joint device, the level of vibration force and energy transmission between the subsystems can be attenuated in the range of excitation frequencies of interest. It is shown that the inerter-based nonlinear joint can be used to introduce an anti-peak in the response curve and achieve substantially lower levels of force transmission and a reduced amount of energy transmission between subsystems. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the effects of inerter-based nonlinear devices on vibration attenuation and benefits enhanced designs of coupled systems for better dynamic performance.

Quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) systems for passive vibration isolation have been extensively studied for high static and low dynamic stiffness in practical applications. However, most existing QZS isolators are focused more on suppressing vibration transmission of a single direction, which thus presents a limitation in applications. This study presents a novel X-shaped mechanism based 3 degrees of freedom (3-DOF) anti-vibration unit with enhanced QZS effect in a large stroke, which is expected to achieve low-frequency vibration isolation in three directions simultaneously. The proposed anti-vibration unit exhibits beneficial nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics, and it can passively achieve excellent and tunable vibration isolation performance in all three directions. The loading capacity, static stiffness and QZS zone in three directions are conducted for understanding such a 3-DOF anti-vibration unit. The influences of several design parameters including the lengths of rods, static equilibrium positions, spring stiffness, damping coefficients and excitation amplitudes on vibration isolation performance are all studied. Compared with typical spring-mass-damper (SMD) isolators, or existing traditional QZS isolators, the proposed anti-vibration structure exhibits much larger QZS area in the main vibration isolation direction, can be flexibly used to construct more DOF vibration isolation in a compact design, and can thus achieve excellent vibration isolation performance in more directions simultaneously with guaranteed stable equilibrium. The results of this study present a new insight into multi-direction passive vibration isolation required in many engineering practices, based on the X-shaped linkage mechanism.

The passive tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD), i.e., a classic inerter system, has been proven as an efficient vibration mitigation device that is characterized by a damping‐enhancement effect for enhanced energy absorption and dissipation. However, due to the sensitivity of the tuning frequency, the effective frequency band of TVMD for vibration reduction is limited, so that the enhanced energy absorption and dissipation are limited. Dealing with this, this study proposes a novel variable friction TVMD (VF‐TVMD) by incorporating a sub‐device with variable friction forces into the TVMD, successively maximizing the energy dissipation efficiency of VF‐TVMD by employing a power‐flow‐based algorithm. A power‐flow analysis is performed for TVMD‐structures, which explicitly determine the optimal phase deviation of the dashpot‐deformation in TVMD with respect to structural displacement. Given this finding, the friction device in VF‐TVMD is employed by the proposed power‐flow‐based control strategy to adjust the asynchronous vibration between the TVMD and primary structure. Through the implementation of VF‐TVMD, the feasibility and effectiveness are illustrated by numerical examples. The results show that a desired phase lag of the TVMD with respect to the structure is −90° to guarantee TVMD the maximum power flow for energy dissipation. Benefitting from the variable friction force, the VF‐TVMD is more effective for structural vibration control and exhibits a more significant damping‐enhancement effect, in comparison with the TVMD. Applicable in a wider frequency band, the structural vibration can be significantly mitigated by the optimized VF‐TVMD or even by VF‐TVMD with un‐optimized stiffness and damping ratios.
