A new variable stiffness absorber based on magneto-rheological elastomer

open access: yesTransactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China, 2009
A new adaptive variable stiffness absorber was proposed based on a smart material, magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), and its vibration control performance was investigated. Before developing the proposed absorber, the MREs were firstly fabricated by curing a mixture of 704 silicon rubber, carbonyl iron particles and a small amount of silicone oil ...
