However, isolating vibrations with ultralow frequency as low as 1 Hz is still a great challenge even in laboratory tests due to the high damping of QZS prototypes. To address this issue, a novel isolator with intrinsically light damping is proposed by configurating tension springs and oblique bars. The linear or nonlinear negative stiffness generated by the horizontal tension springs and oblique bars counteracts the linear positive stiffness of the vertical tension springs to obtain the QZS-related features including nonlinear QZS, constant positive or negative dynamic stiffness, constant QZS, and constant zero stiffness. Two QZS conditions are derived and the influence of parameters on QZS is thoroughly studied. The proposed isolator with tension springs has obvious differences from the previous isolator with compression springs in terms of QZS conditions, as well as force and stiffness expressions. Then, the displacement transmissibility is calculated by using the increment harmonic balance method and the continuous arc-length algorithm, which is verified by the classical harmonic balance method. These methods have the same prediction result. Finally, a prototype is fabricated and tested. The smoother force curves with constant QZS and the higher transmissibility amplitude can be obtained in tests compared to the previous isolator with compression springs under the same configuration parameters, which verifies the theoretical formulations of the proposed isolator with light damping. The prototype is further improved by replacing linear bearings with sliders to reduce the frictional effects. As a result, vibrations with ultralow frequencies lower than 1 Hz are successfully isolated. The proposed isolator has a wider frequency band and lower transmissibility than the previous isolator with compression springs. This study offers an effective method of decreasing the large positive stiffness to obtain constant QZS for isolating vibrations with ultralow frequency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"175 ","pages":"Article 105129"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143890892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, to analyze the response of the coupled multi-field system, theoretical modeling of the coupled thermo-electric-magnetic-elastic strongly nonlinear energy harvesting system is constructed. Correspondingly, the modified Green's function method and harmonic balance method are deployed to determine the solutions of the coupled multi-field model. The derived closed-form solutions are verified. From the theoretical analysis, we get a conclusion that the triggered thermal stresses within the structure owing to the temperature gradient are simultaneously canceled out, which is the reason why thermal excitation is not considered in the coupled force equation. This study reveals the amplitude-dependent property of temperature distribution induced by magnetically induced interwell and intrawell oscillations, i.e., coupled temperature distribution. For a strongly nonlinear beam-type energy harvesting system, results indicate that the multi-solution area is determined by excitation amplitude, frequency, and structure parameters, which means that the closed-form solutions of interwell and intrawell oscillations do not exist simultaneously.

Understanding the fracture behavior of film–substrate systems is critical, as complex fracture patterns often emerge due to the differing material properties between the film and substrate. This work is the first to present a unified phase-field fracture formulation that captures damage in both the film and substrate by integrating surface mechanics (Gurtin–Murdoch theory) and bulk mechanics within a thermodynamically consistent framework. Unlike previous studies that neglect substrate damage or rely on computationally intensive 3D film modeling, our approach enables efficient simulation with distinct damage evolution across material interfaces. This study proposes a novel phase-field fracture model to capture the damage evolution in film–substrate composites, where the film is treated as a two-dimensional membrane bonded to a three-dimensional substrate. Leveraging the surface mechanics in Gurtin–Murdoch theory, the model treats the film as a zero-thickness membrane with surface parameters distinct from the substrate. This approach significantly reduces computational costs compared to traditional methods that require fine 3D meshing for thin films. The finite element implementation employs a thermodynamically-consistent framework and a staggered solution scheme to solve the nonlinear governing equations, allowing for efficient simulation of coupling phase-field damage and large deformation. Two numerical examples are provided to validate the model and explore fracture behavior: (i) a 3D edge-cracked plate subjected to uniaxial tension, and (ii) an indentation test of a tough film-coated substrate. Results demonstrate distinct damage progression in the film and substrate, highlighting the role of the film in predicting the fracture.
