An Active-damping-compensated Magnetorheological Elastomer Adaptive Tuned Vibration Absorber

摘要

This article presents the development of an active-damping-compensated magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) adaptive tuned vibration absorber (ATVA). The principle and the vibration attenuation performance of the proposed active-damping-compensated ATVA were theoretically analyzed. Based on the analysis, a prototype was designed and manufactured. Its dynamic properties and vibration attenuation performances were experimentally investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the damping ratio of the prototype was significantly reduced by the active force. Consequently, its vibration attenuation capability was significantly improved compared with a conventional MRE ATVA.
