This invention discloses a magnetorheological vibration
isolator with
negative stiffness characteristics, comprising a
magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), an iron sheet, a circular
magnet, a cylindrical central shaft, an
electromagnetic coil, upper and lower base plates, an outer sleeve, and a bar
magnet. The MRE, iron sheet, and circular
magnet form a multi-layered MRE structure, with the circular magnet providing a portion of the initial
magnetic field to the MRE. The
electromagnetic coil, located between the multi-layered MRE structure and the outer sleeve, can control the
magnetic field strength acting on the MRE in real time, thereby controlling the stiffness and damping of the MRE
isolator. The bar magnet and magnet brackets form a
negative stiffness generating unit, respectively installed on both symmetrical sides of the
isolator. This invention introduces
negative stiffness characteristics into a semi-active vibration isolator, improving the vibration reduction effect of semi-
active control to the level of
active control, while also offering good stability and low
system cost. This invention can be applied to lateral
vibration control in high-speed trains, improving stability and safety during high-speed operation, and has broad application prospects.
