Experimental study on a nonlinear vibration isolator based on a post-buckled inverted L-shaped beam

In this paper, the characteristics and the effectiveness of a nonlinear passive vibration isolator based on a post-buckled beam is investigated experimentally. The intended application is specifically isolation in the vertical direction where the isolator is required to be sufficiently stiff statica...
