Abstract: To suppress the low frequency vibrations of airborne photoelectric system and improve measurement accuracy, a novel passive airborne photoelectric quasi-zero stiffness platform (APQZSP), which is composed of upper/bottom planes, anti-shaking structure and six quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) legs, is designed. The QZS leg is constructed by connecting the folded beam spring with magnetic negative stiffness spring (MNSS) in parallel. According to current model, the magnetic force and negative stiffness of MNSS are derived. As the friction damping is introduced with anti-shaking structure, the isolation performance of the platform under friction damping is investigated based on harmonic balance method. Then the effect of damping and excitation on the isolation performance is analyzed. The results indicate that with the QZS technology, the resonant frequency of the platform is reduced and the low frequency vibrations can be effectively isolated with APQZSP. Moreover, the friction damping can maintain the displacement transmissibility at unity as long as the excitation frequency is lower than the break-loose frequency, and then the resonance can be avoided.
