Experimental Analysis of Magneto-Rheological Elastomer

This paper presents the experimental and analytical modal analysis of a magneto-rheological elastomer. The effective material and geometrical properties are measured, and the dynamic behaviour is investigated through testing. Fabrication of isotropic and anisotropic magneto-rheological elastomers with different percentages of iron particles are carried out. Also two numbers of silicon elastomer in which one having steel net kept layer by layer in place of iron particles during pouring of liquid silicon elastomer in mould, other is simple silicon elastomer without iron particle or steel net are fabricated.The modal analysis of all samples are being analyzed using FFT analyser. And transmissibility and amplitudes of all samples are compared with respect to load. A comparative study has been made between different samples of MRE's using results and comparisons obtained using experimental method.
