The present study on vibration reduction in systems wherein the excitation frequency is variable designed and fabricated a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)-based tunable dynamic vibration absorber and evaluated its performance in an experimental manner. The design of an MRE-based adaptive tuned dynamic vibration absorber (ATDVA) involves designing two parts: stiffness and mass. Before designing the MRE-based ATDVA, this study determined the resonance frequency of a target object for vibration reduction. For the design of the ATDVA’s stiffness part, the thickness of specimens was determined by measuring the rate of variation of the MRE’s shear modulus with respect to the MRE’s thickness. The design of the mass part was optimized using sensitivity analysis and genetic algorithms after the derivation of formulas for its magnetic field and mass. Further, upon the application of an electric current to the MRE, its stiffness was measured so that the stiffness of the designed MRE-based ATDVA could be tuned accordingly. Finally, the vibration-reducing performance of the MRE-based ATDVA was evaluated to determine the applicability of the vibration absorber under the condition of variable-frequency excitation.

Magnetorheological elastomer is a new kind of intelligent material that mainly incorporates micron-sized ferromagnetic particles into a polymer. A dynamic vibration absorber that is based on the controllable shear modulus of magnetorheological elastomer is widely used in vibration systems. In the study, a flexible carbody model with a magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is established. A design method of a semiactive dynamic vibration absorber that is based on magnetorheological elastomer is introduced, and the operational principle of the semiactive dynamic vibration absorber is also discussed. To improve the vibration absorption performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber, via multiple regression analysis, the optimal design frequency expressions for both the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration of the carbody are fitted. Parameter determination for the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is investigated in detail. Then, the effects on the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration with the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber both with the passive vibration absorber and without a vibration absorber are analyzed. Finally, Sperling’s riding index is used to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber in a practical application. The results demonstrate that the vibration of the carbody can be effectively reduced by using the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber instead of the dynamic vibration absorber without the magnetorheological elastomer. The magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber that is modified by the optimum frequency provides superior vibration reduction performance and improves the riding quality of the railway vehicle.

Vibration Attenuation Performance

This article proposes and validates the principle of a new magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) for powertrain mount systems of automobiles. The MRE DVA consists of a vibration absorption unit and a passive vibration isolation unit. The vibration absorption unit composed of a magnetic conductor, a shearing sleeve, a bobbin core, an electromagnetic coil, and a circular cylindrical MRE is utilized to absorb the vibration energy, and the passive vibration isolation unit is used to support the powertrain. The finite element method is employed to validate the electromagnetic circuit of the MRE DVA and obtain the electromagnetic characteristics. The theoretical frequency-shift principle is analyzed via the established constitutive equations of the circular cylindrical MRE In order to demonstrate how the parameters of the MRE influence the vibration attenuation performance, the MRE DVA is applied to a powertrain mount system to replace the conventional passive mount. The frequency-shift property of the vibration absorption unit and the vibration attenuation performance of the MRE DVA on the powertrain mount system are experimentally tested. To validate and improve the vibration attenuation performance for the semi-active powertrain mount systems, an optimal variable step algorithm is proposed for the MRE DVA and numerical experiments are carried out.

Tunable Frequency

An elastomer composite with controllable stiffness, known as a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), is used in a dynamic vibration absorber whose natural frequency is tuned adaptively to the disturbance frequency through the application of an external magnetic field. The field-dependent property test of the fabricated MRE sample shows that the stiffness changes by more than six times compared to the baseline property value at a 40% iron powder volume concentration. The MRE is then used to fabricate a frequency-tunable dynamic absorber for mitigating transient vibrations of a one-degree-of-freedom system. Investigations show that the proposed absorber outperforms a conventional passive-type absorber throughout the tunable frequency range.

A passive type dynamic vibration absorber offers advantages in reliability and simple constitution, however, the use of the absorber with fixed property is usually limited to harmonically excited case, where the damper is only effective for pre-determined narrow frequency range. Design of the damper following well-known optimal tuning theory could extend the effective frequency range, yet the damping performance remains at a certain amount. In this paper, the stiffness controllable elastomer composite known as Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is applied to the dynamic absorber whose natural frequency is tunable by the external magnetic field. MREs are first fabricated and their field-dependent properties are investigated. The MRE is then applied to a dynamic absorber along with stiffness switching scheme so that the vibration of 1-DOF structure is damped more effectively. Investigations show that the vibration of the structure can be fully reduced by the proposed dynamic absorber with variable stiffness functionality.
