ABSTRACT:
A vibration isolation system utilizes various configurations of elastic structures loaded to approach a point of elastic instability. In one form of the invention, the system uses a combination of a negative-stiffness mechanism and a positive spring to support a payload and provide low net stiffness in the vertical direction. Horizontal motion is generally isolated by utilizing one or more axially-symmetric columns loaded to approach their critical buckling loads to provide low stiffness in any horizontal direction.
