Abstract Recent studies in passively isolated systems have shown that mode coupling is desirable for better vibration suppression, thus refuting the long-standing rule of modal decoupling. However, these studies have ignored the nonlinearities in the isolators. In this work, we consider stiffness nonlinearity from pneumatic isolators and study the nonlinear forced damped vibrations of a passively isolated ultra-precision manufacturing (UPM) machine. Experimental analysis is conducted to guide the mathematical formulation. The system comprises linearly and nonlinearly coupled in-plane horizontal and rotational motion of the UPM machine with quadratic nonlinear stiffness from the isolators. We present an analytical study using the method of multiple scales and the method of harmonic balance for different cases of external resonances, viz., the primary and the secondary resonances (superharmonic and combined resonances) with 1 : 2 internal resonance between the modes. We further validate our analytical findings using direct numerical integration and observe an excellent match. On extending our analysis, we observe the existence of subcritical, supercritical, and s-shaped bifurcation depending on the location of the isolators and the case of external resonance. Also, the saturation and quasi-saturation phenomenon are observed for the case of resonances close to the higher natural frequency and combined resonance, respectively. A parametric study S. K.

1 Introduction Over the last few years, the use of machine parts with micro-level patterns and nano-level surface finish has been significantly increased in the electronic, biomedical, and communication industries [1–3]. To meet the stringent requirements at the microscale, ultraprecision manufacturing (UPM) machines like ultraprecision machine tools, water scanners, and microcoordinate measuring machine (CMM) are used to manufacture or measure these parts. As the tolerance and accuracy of these parts are very high, even the smallest amplitude of vibrations can adversely affect the accuracy and precision of the UPM machine. Therefore, it is required to understand the dynamics of such precision equipment under the influence of external excitations. This is the focus of the current work. Vibration isola
