Vertical vibration isolator having piecewise-constant restoring force.

We present a vertical vibration isolator having a piecewise-constant restoring force, which belongs to a class of passive and nonlinear vibration isolators. In vertical vibration isolation, direct use of low-stiffness elements leads to unacceptably large deformations due to self-weight. To overcome...
