Identification of Complex Shear Modulus of MR Layer Placed in Three-Layer Beam – Part 1: Finite Element

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the finite element, which can be used to analyse the vibration of a three–layer beam with magnetorheological (MR) fluid layer. The MR fluid layer was sealed with silicone rubber. On the basis of the analysis of displacements, deformations of each layer has been established. Next, potential and kinetic energy of the three–layer beam were calculated. Because of the complexity of the beam with MR fluid, efficient solutions can be obtained only after discretization of the system. The finite element method was used in the study. For this purpose the mass and stiffness matrices were determined for the proposed linear finite element of two nodes and four degrees of freedom in each node.
