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. © 2015 Toshihiko Komatsuzaki and Yoshio Iwata.}, title = {Design of a real-time adaptively tuned dynamic vibration absorber with a variable stiffness property using magnetorheological elastomer}, volume = {2015}, year = {2015} }
