Vibration Response Analysis of MRE Cantilever Sandwich Beam under Non-Homogeneous Magnetic Fields

Article Preview

Abstract:

A three layer sandwich beam with an aluminum face sheet and a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) core was fabricated. The transverse motion equations of MRE cantilever sandwich beam under non-homogeneous magnetic fields were derived with the fine Mead-Markus model, and the first natural frequency of the beam were calculated. Meanwhile, the first natural frequency of the beam was also simulated using ANSYS software. The numerical simulations accorded with theoretical results in general. The results are expected to provide guidance to develop broadband vibration isolation devices for railways and rolling stock.
