Systems designed for nonlinear vibration isolation that incorporate chaotic states demonstrate superior capabilities in vibration attenuation, adeptly modulating the spectral constituents of vibrational noise. Yet, the challenge of eliciting low-amplitude chaotic dynamics and perpetuating these states across a diverse array of parameters remains formidable. This study proposes a pioneering strategy and technique for modulating the chaos band by incorporating a time-delayed feedback control mechanism within the framework of nonlinear vibration isolation systems.The investigation commences with an exhaustive analysis of the nonlinear dynamics, shedding light on the principles dictating the evolution of chaos. The study then advances to scrutinize the dynamics of systems with delays to elucidate the chaos-inducing processes engendered by feedback with temporal lags. Building upon the system’s responses, the chaotic performance and the effectiveness of the vibration isolation are crafted. Consequently, the time-delayed feedback control parameters are identified as pivotal design variables, which are then employed to dissect the control mechanisms influenced by the time-delayed feedback on the chaos band. Utilizing the delineated control mechanism, the nonlinear vibration isolation system is precipitously transitioned from a state of stable periodicity to one of chaos, fostering low-amplitude chaotic dynamics across an expansive parameter space, and in turn, resolving the previously stated challenge.Perhaps most significantly, the mechanism for attaining low-amplitude chaos introduced here paves the way for innovative methodologies in the active vibration isolation design of similar systems. Furthermore, it is anticipated to yield theoretical guidance for the manipulation of chaos bands and the formulation of active vibration isolation strategies within the domain of nonlinear vibration isolation systems.
