Design and test of a quasi-zero stiffness metastructure based on the preshaped beams for low-frequency vibration isolation

The present study introduces a novel QZS metastructure, which is based on monolithic preshaped beams that draw inspiration from the snap-through behavior of cosine beams. The QZS feature is achieved by incorporating an additional arc segment, which serves as an elastic boundary, extending from the e...
