Adaptive fuzzy control of a magnetorheological elastomer vibration isolation system with time-varying sinusoidal excitations

This paper presents the design method of an adaptive fuzzy controller (AFC) for a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) vibration isolation system with time-varying sinusoidal excitations. In the first place, Kelvin model of MRE isolator without application of driving current is obtained by acceleration sweep experiments on a shake table, which establishes a foundation for the design of adaptive law. Secondly, a semi-active AFC with factor...
