A Study of Vibration Damping Control for Hollow Drive Shaft

Abstract

This paper presents a solution of the vibration reduction in the hollow shafts by using magentorehological(MR) elastomer. Proposed active damping structure is built by embedding the MR elastomers whose elastic modulus is controllable by an applied magnetic field. MR elastomers consist of synthetic rubber filled with micron-sized magnetizable particles. For reduction of vibration, dynamic damper of hollow shaft is designed by using MR elastomer and equipped in the hollow shaft for the
