Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), as a field-dependent smart material, has been widely applied on base isolation for vibration reduction. However, the MRE isolation system often experiences large drift during a strong earthquake, which may cause mechanical failure. Additionally, its performance among the low-frequency range is still limited. To tackle these problems, this paper proposes a hybrid vibration isolation system which is composed of four stiffness softening MRE isolators and a passiv...

When you tap certain items your phone will vibrate just a bit, giving you a little feedback. Sometimes this is nice, but maybe you don’t like it. The good news is it’s easy to disable on any Android device.

This paper establishes a 7-degree-of-freedom full-vehicle suspension system with two 2-degree-of-freedom controllable electrically interconnected suspensions (EIS) to achieve the control effect of the entire vehicle. The motions between the sprung mass and unsprung masses are converted into electrical energy via the electromagnetic suspensions, and then the energy is electrically interconnected with the electrical network (EN). This research is based on the previous study of a 2-degree-of-freedo...

Abstract This paper proposes a novel semi-active electromagnetic device with the capability of variable inertance and damping (VIVD) and an energy storage priority control (ESPC) strategy for vibration reduction of vehicle seat suspensions. The VIVD device can control its inertance and damping by adjusting resistances in a variable admittance (VA) circuit different from the traditional mechanical damper. The circuit and mechanical dynamics model of the VIVD seat suspension is analyzed and verif...

The group of active suspensions with controllable actuating force is noted with their excellent performance in reducing vibrations, however, their demanding requirements for high power consumption and high cost as well as the highly potential instability issue have hindered their practical usage. Semi-active suspensions with controllable stiffness or damping are simple, stable and cost-efficient, but they cannot provide equivalent performance with active suspensions. By incorporating the negativ...
