Design of vibration protection systems with elastic elements made of MR material

MR (metal rubber) is non-linear anisotropic material for vibration protection with high strength and damping. An elastic modulus, shear modulus and Poisson ratio are obtained for this material for different directions. It allows to calculate a deformation of vibration isolator made of MR, to use for it a finite element software. An algorithm for design of MR vibration isolator is given. This algorithm allows to determine size of MR elastic element, its density and preliminary deformation.
