Modeling of a magnetorheological elastomer-based isolator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variable stiffness and damping isolator (VSDI) is designed and developed employing MREs. A double lap shear test has been carried out to characterize two MRE based VSDIs under quasi-static shear loading. A phenomenological model which can capture the behavior of the VSDI is developed and related parameters are identified using experimental data. Both experimental and theoretical modeling results have shown good agreements.

Modeling of a new semi-active/passive magnetorheological elastomer isolator
This paper presents theoretical modeling of a new magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) base isolator and its performance for vibration control. The elastomeric element of the traditional steel–rubber base isolator is modified to a composite layer of passive elastomer and MRE which makes the isolator controllable with respect to its stiffness and damping. The proposed variable stiffness and dampin...
