Shock and Vibration Mitigation for Platform Stability

By HRL Laboratories LLC

MML has pioneered nonlinear negative-stiffness—based approaches that enable high-performance (e.g., automotive, aerospace) compact payload, passenger and vehicle stabilization, breaking the typical frequency-bandwidth-weight trades associated with traditional dynamics and suspension systems. Our design tools and engineered nonlinear mechanical isolators enable situation-dependent response to shock and vibration, allowing vehicle dynamics and performance to be tuned in real time, at a fraction of the cost and power of a fully active isolation system. Benefits include improved customer experiences, passenger comfort, and component and system survivability.
