ABSTRACT
Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials. Their rheological properties can be controlled by applying an external magnetic field. MRE is a solid rubbery material that can change its modulus through the application of a magnetic field. This article presents the research on the simulation, manufacturing, and testing of vibration insulators. The first step in MRE vibration isolator design. A sufficient magnetic field for the stiffness change is considered in the material selection of the vibration isolator. The effectiveness of electromagnetic circuits in generating magnetic fields to minimize vibration is demonstrated using Finite Element Method Magnetics software. A vibration isolator test rig is installed as a second step. Lastly, different effects of current input on MRE isolators have been examined. The higher current input is more effective in eliminating vibration using the MRE isolation system.
