Investigation of a multilayer magnetorheological elastomer damper characteristics

Abstract

The paper presents the design of a damper based on a multilayer magnetorheological elastomer that has high load capacity, up to 500 N. The damper is able to operate in all vibration control modes, depending on its control signal. The damper cooling system is presented. Vibration tests were carried out and the damper amplitude-frequency characteristics were obtained. The transition process of damper displacement with a control step signal was analyzed.
