Abstract:

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) have attracted notable credits in the development of smart devices due to their controllable stiffness and damping properties. For the purpose of effectively mitigating unwanted structural and/or machinery vibrations, the traditional MRE-based devices have been generally proven effective because the MR effect can increase the stiffness when the magnetic field is strengthened. This study presents a new MRE absorber that experienced reduced stiffness when the applied current was increased. This innovative work was accomplished by applying a hybrid magnet (electromagnet and permanent magnets) onto a multilayered MRE structure. To characterise this negative changing stiffness concept, a multilayered MRE isolator with a hybrid magnet was first designed, fabricated and then tested to measure its properties. Its vibration attenuation performance was experimentally evaluated. The extension of the work on the development of self-sensing and nonlinear MRE absorbers will also be discussed.
