Studies on Magnetorheological Elastomers for Isolators

Abstract:

Magnetorheological (MR) elastomers are a new type of MR material. At present, most studies in this field are at laboratory stage, and practicability was rarely considered preparation of MR elastomer materials. Consequently, the existing materials with low overall properties cannot be applied in engineering. In this paper, the performance requirements for MR elastomers to be used in isolators were proposed. Then a type of practical MR elastomers for isolators was prepared, and its mechanical performance and MR effect were tested. The results show that the designed MR elastomers have high mechanical performance and high MR effect, and thus can be used in isolators.
