Appl. Mech. 2016;84(2):021001-021001-9. doi:10.1115/1.4034989 Figure Legend: Photographs of the two-stage vibration isolator: (a) actual test-rig and (b) test-rig with the bistable plates removed. The cylindrical devices connected to the corners of the plates are to facilitate the lateral sliding conditions (a section through one of them can be seen in Fig. 9).
